Daniel Sturridge reveals that playing out wide for Chelsea will make him a better player for both club and country.

Daniel Sturridge has revealed that playing out wide for club and country will make him a better player in the long-term future.

The 22-year-old has been playing in a wide role for Chelsea under Andre Villas-Boas and believes that he is beginning to reap the benefits.

Sturridge said: "Playing as a winger is only going to make me stronger mentally, physically and technically.

"It will help me become a more well-rounded player, rather than just a single-minded centre-forward.

"I'll continue doing that and giving my all. Hopefully at the end of the season I'll be sitting on the plane with the England players heading out to the European Championships."

Sturridge has starred for Chelsea this season despite the Blues sitting fifth in the Premier League.
