Former Liverpool midfielder Jason McAteer has said that Reds forward Daniel Sturridge should reject reported interest from West Ham United to make the move to Paris Saint-Germain in this summer's transfer window.

Sturridge, 27, has only started 25 Premier League games over the last three seasons after struggling to overcome a number of injury complaints.

It has been claimed that PSG are considering a move for the Englishman ahead of the 2017-18 campaign, and McAteer has backed Sturridge to thrive if he makes the move to Paris.

"I have heard West Ham want to sign him, but my personal opinion is that Daniel would thrive at somewhere like PSG," McAteer told The Mirror. "Playing with superstars like Edinson Cavani and Angel di Maria would suit his game. In France, he would also be out of the constant spotlight.

"The stumbling block would be the fee and whether Liverpool get the £40m they want for him, which remains to be seen. It could depend on Ronaldo. If he left Madrid, I'm certain he would join PSG – and that would rule out them moving for Sturridge. But, whatever happens, the time is right for Daniel to move."

Sturridge has scored 60 times in 119 appearances for Liverpool following a 2013 move from Chelsea.
