As per the Sun, the Premier League side tried to sign him at the start of this year and now that he is a free agent once again, they could reignite their interest in him.
Sturridge terminated his contract with Trabzonspor earlier this week and he won’t be able to join a club until the transfer window opens in the summer.
If Aston Villa sign him, they won’t be able to use him before next season.
It will be interesting to see what happens. He could prove to be a solid addition to Dean Smith’s side next season.
