Liverpool's No.15 shared a dressing room with the latter - who fired 81 goals in 142 appearances here - for two years at Chelsea before completing a switch to Anfield in January 2013.
Sturridge has worked at close quarters with another of the world's finest strikers ever since, forming a lethal partnership with Uruguay international Suarez during the opening months of the season.
The question is: how would the Englishman, who has already found the target 10 times himself in 2013-14, compare his current teammate with former Kop idol Torres?
He told FourFourTwo: "I don't feel there is that much difference between them as they are world-class footballers, although obviously they have contrasting styles.
"Torres is more of an out-and-out goalscorer and Luis is a bit more like me, where he can play through the middle but drop off and have a dribble at different times.
"They have both scored goals for fun in the Premier League and Torres was frightening at Liverpool.
"They are great finishers in their own right but I didn't play in a front two with Torres, so it's difficult for me to make an accurate comparison.
"I love playing with Luis and we link up so well together, but I was out on the wing a lot when I was in the same team as Nando.
"It's worked out better for me at Liverpool and it's really clicked with Luis. I feel privileged to have shared a pitch with each of them."
