Sterling, who currently plays for Dutch club Feyenoord, has enjoyed a distinguished career at both club and international level.

The forward began his football journey with Queens Park Rangers before joining Liverpool’s academy in 2010. He made his senior debut for the Merseyside club in 2012 and went on to score 23 goals in 129 appearances before securing a £49 million move to Manchester City in 2015.

In 2022, Sterling joined Chelsea, where he scored 19 goals in 81 appearances. He later spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Arsenal, featuring in 28 matches and finding the net once.

Following the termination of his Chelsea contract in January, Sterling joined Feyenoord on a free transfer.
