With Daniel Sturridge on his way to West Brom on loan, the FC crew ponder whether he can ever rediscover the form he displayed playing alongside Luis Suarez.

Sunderland have completed the loan signing of Liverpool youngster Ovie Ejaria.

Ejaria will spend the rest of the 2017-18 season in the Championship working under former Wales manager Chris Coleman.

The 20-year-old midfielder will be a direct replacement for Didier Ndong, who has joined Watford on loan, at the Stadium of Light.

"I'm really happy because I've wanted to go out on loan for a while to get regular first-team football under my belt," Ejaria said.
