Sterling back enjoying what he loves most

Playing for the love of the game has motivated and driven Raheem Sterling throughout his life.

Our newest signing has had a hugely successful career to date, bursting onto the scene as a teenager at Liverpool, having joined their academy from Queens Park Rangers in a high-profile move at the age of 15 in 2010. He made his debut for both Liverpool and the England national team aged 17, and joined Manchester City three years later in a deal which broke the transfer record for an English player.

He more than justified the price tag, winning four Premier League titles, five League Cups and one FA Cup during a seven-year stay – half of it working alongside Mikel Arteta.
