Sterling open to overseas offers

-

London – Raheem Sterling admitted this week that he “would be open” to moving away from Manchester City to get more game time, with even a switch to an overseas club high on his wish list.

The 26-year-old England internatio­nal has been with the Premier League champions since 2015 when he moved from Liverpool.

However, he has made just two Premier League starts this season under coach Pep Guardiola.

Speaking at the FT Business of Sport US Summit, Sterling said: “If there was the opportunit­y to go somewhere else (for more game time), I would be open to it at this moment in time.

“As an English player all I know is the Premier League and I have always had something down (in me) that maybe one day I would love to play abroad to see how I would come up against that challenge,” added the Manchester City player. –
