RAHEEM’S RUSSIAN TO SCORE

-

RAHEEM STERLING has goals on his mind in Russia – literally. The England forward faces Tunisia in Volgograd tomorrow having failed to score for his country for three years. But Sterling, 23 (below) knows a successful World Cup, including hitting the goal trail on the biggest stage, will help him achieve another target. That is securing a new Manchester City contract on

£250k-a-week, which would elevate him to the level of team-mates Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and Sergio Aguero. Sterling scored 23 goals last season and has even been linked in Spain with Champions League winners Real Madrid.

He has two years left on his current deal at

£140k-a-week and the reason his advisors delayed signing a new contract before the World Cup was to give him the chance to strengthen their bargaining position through his displays in Russia. THE best ★replica England here shirt I’ve spotted on the had the name Pickles it wasn’t to identify back. And it. That supporter wearing the the dog which was the name of

Cup when the found the World in 1966 trophy was stolen before the tournament England,

– won by of course – got under way.
