Liverpool Football Club have a real star on their hands in Raheem Sterling.

The Reds have moved to take the 15-year-old from Queens Park Rangers, beating off competition from the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United to do so.

Sterling had been a regular for the Londoners Under-18 team this season and has also featured for the reserve team, as well as England Under-16 side.

Speaking to the club’s official website, QPR Youth Development Manager Steve Gallen has wished the youngster all the best, whilst claiming the Anfield club have a real star on their hands.

"It is obviously disappointing to lose Raheem. I have worked closely with him for a number of years,” he said. "We wanted to keep him, but Raheem was keen to play for an Academy.

“Liverpool is obviously an excellent move for him, as far as that is concerned. Liverpool’s bid matched our valuation of him, and we all wish him well.

"Raheem is a fantastic lad with a brilliant attitude. The players and staff are going to miss him around the place. I hope, and I firmly believe, that he will have a great future in the game."
