Sturridge has not retired from football but has been without a club since leaving Perth Glory in June 2022.
However, he impressed many with his first foray into the world of punditry.
He had earlier won praise for his analysis of Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo following their 2-2 draw with Tottenham.
And later on he was part of the team assessing Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
Sturridge was discussing Mo Salah’s furious reaction to being subbed when he mimicked the fiery Irishman’s voice and said “he’s a big baby” while putting his arm on the hardman’s shoulder.
But as the ex-Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool ace continued to make his point, Keane was caught looking at host Jones before shaking his head and rolling his eyes.
After Sky Sports shared the clip on social media, one fan replied: “Daniel Sturridge nails the Roy Keane impression!”
“Keane was fuming,” wrote another as a fellow supporter added: “Roy’s gonna chin him.”

The new pundit seemed to have plenty of admirers for his impression, with one viewer even stating: “Give Sturridge a 10 year contract.”
