Daniel Sturridge to West Ham rumours suggest transfer silly season has peaked

Injuries might have seen Daniel Sturridge's stock fall of late, but it's safe to say none of us saw this coming.

The England striker has been linked with a stunning £18m move to West Ham, where he would team up with occasional international team-mate Andy Carroll. The Brentwood Gazette claim the London club want the former Chelsea man to boost an attack that has contributed just 12 goals in the last 12 games. There was some positivity following the announcement. https://twitter.com/BradleyHooper/status/689693410396127233 But the wider reaction has largely featured the cry-laugh emoji in abundance. https://twitter.com/lukedheir/status/689721307756388352 https://twitter.com/alfielong97/status/689721572521840642 https://twitter.com/westhamfootball/status/689552794085363712 https://twitter.com/Finbar_McMahon/status/689710735027474432 Surely he won't make the move to London. But then again, stranger things have happened.
