Daniel Sturridge proved at the back end of last season that he is more
than useful as a lone
striker, and with Suarez, Coutinho and Eriksen easily versatile across those three positions just behind him, the England international would never be short on service but the relationship between all four attackers would be symbiotic and Eriksen's goal tally would most likely stay intact if he signed.

useful comparison since Giroud is not the main penalty taker in the team and also penalties on the team can be taken by other players rather
than just the
striker.
