Daniel Sturridge has insisted he will step up to fill the void of Luis Suarez's departure this summer from Liverpool, and he's already been doing that off the field as he teached young winger Jordan Ibe a thing or two about rapping. Sturridge and Ibe went head-to-head in an ultimate Hip-Hop Mastermind set up by the club's website, with a series of questions being direct at them before they both had to do a rap of their own at the end for the bonus points.
