Liverpool FC have announced the arrival of Daniel Sturridge from Chelsea. The Anfield club didn't inform the press about the amount they paid for the 23 year old England international.
Liverpool allowed Andy Carroll to join West Ham United on loan during the summer transfer window while the scout team of the Merseyside club failed to offer £7m for Clint Dempsey.

Sturridge: "I'm humbled and happy here. I've not signed here to play for a couple of years and then move on. I've signed to be here for as long as possible. It's humongous club-for me, one of the biggest in the world. To have the fans and world-class players we have here is amazing. I see myself as a striker. I think I perform best there because my attributes, I believe, are used best as a central striker."
Sturridge has made only one premier league start in an injury-affected season, is believed to have had a medical at Liverpool last month.
The ex-Manchester City striker scored a total of 13 goals last season. His last match was against West Brom on November 17,2012.
Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre: "Daniel is somebody we've always had in our sights and somebody the manager has had huge interst in right from the start.
The transfer fee is in the region of £12 million. The former Coventry youngster may make his debut in the FA cup next weekend.
