Sterling sore at City exit

- Steve Bates

RAHEEM STERLING admits he was left “raging” by his exit from Manchester City.

Sterling, who moved to Chelsea this summer in a deal worth £50million, won four Premier League titles, five League Cups and an FA Cup during his seven years at the Etihad.

But the 27-year-old England forward lifted the lid on his departure.

He said: “Everyone wants to feel wanted, football is no different.

“When you play your heart out, sacrifice some of your kids’ birthdays, and then get treated in a certain way, it’s disappoint­ing.

“It was a shame to see how it ended because I had such a great time there.

“At the time I was fuming, raging, but it’s gone, it’s in the past.

“I can only focus on the present, which is now, here at Chelsea, and the opportunit­y I’ve got here to go out and showcase my talents once again.”
