According to the Telegraph report, ‘the man, from a modest background, wagered the huge bet (five-figures) on the England player joining Inter Milan on loan during last January’s transfer window. Just days later, however, Sturridge instead joined West Brom for the remainder of the season.

‘Given the spectacular failure of the bet, there is no suggestion that Sturridge was involved, but the transaction startled bosses at a leading bookmaker who suspected the gambler might have obtained what he believed was insider information.

‘The Football Association has refused to confirm whether it is considering the bet in relation to its investigation into Sturridge for alleged gambling breaches.’
