DANIEL STURRIDGE says he is ‘champing at the bit’ as he searches for his next club.
The ex-Liverpool star is training with LaLiga club Mallorca while he looks to return to football.
He looks raring to go in a series of training pictures he shared on Instagram.
Sturridge, 32, is among an XI of stars Premier League clubs can still snap up for nothing.
And the former England striker sent a come-and-get-me plea to would-be suitors just days ago.
Sturridge, who celebrated his birthday this week, wrote: “Year 32. More motivated than I’ve ever been in my life to be successful.
“Older, wiser and fit as a fiddle. God is good.
“Thanks everyone for the birthday messages. Means a lot.”

Sturridge has not played a professional match in 18 months after mutually agreeing to tear up his Trabzonspor contract last March.
On the same day his deal was terminated, Sturridge received a four-month worldwide ban for breaching betting rules.
An appeal board fined for £150,000 for the offence.
Around the same time he also met up with Liverpool captain and former team-mate Jordan Henderson in Spain.
The pair won the 2019 Champions League together, with Sturridge watching the final victory over Tottenham from the bench before being released by Liverpool.
Sturridge’s most successful season at Anfield came back in the 2013-14 campaign when he scored 24 goals in 33 games alongside strike partner Luis Suarez.
The Birmingham-born forward also netted eight times in 26 appearances for England during his international career.
