True Blue: Daniel Sturridge is set to be offered new terms at Chelsea
Sturridge has often been played out of position for the Premier League title chasers, but has adapted well as one of the wide players in an attacking three.
However, so impressive has he been that he was handed a chance in his preferred centre forward role in the league game at Blackburn.
