Liverpool in for Chelsea's 'Villa' for Barca set-up

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is lining up a last-minute swoop for Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge, according to The Mirror.

Rodgers is ready to sell Charlie Adam and Stewart Downing to help  raise the funds to carry on his rebuilding project.

Sturridge is high on the hit-list of the former Swansea manager whose attacking brand of football is similar to Barcelona.

Rodgers is a big admirer of Sturridge, a player in the mould of Barcelona's David Villa.

Sturridge, 22, fears being sidelined after not starting any of the Blues’ two league games so far in 2012-13 and was also on the bench for the Community Shield clash against Manchester City.

He has become frustrated at Chelsea after failing to seal a regular place in the side or get a chance in his favoured role as a central striker.

Chelsea are aware of Liverpool’s interest even though a bid has yet to come in.
