Daniel Sturridge: Raheem Sterling so valuable

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge believes Raheem Sterling will only be happy if he plays regularly and hopes he will remain at the club to do that.

Sterling is stalling on a new £100,000-a-week contract offer, although he insists it has nothing to do with money and he will reassess at the end of the season.

The 20-year-old, who has been linked with a number of Europe’s top clubs, was one of four players at the Anfield launch of next season’s New Balance kit in front of over 1,000 fans, with one shouting from the crowd “Make sure we see you in it next season”.
