Raheem Sterling admits ambition drove his decision to leave Liverpool for Manchester City.

The England star left Anfield for Manchester City in a 49m deal in 2015 as he became the most-expensive English player ever.

Sterling told GQ: "When I got into Liverpool I said if I haven't won the Premier League by the time I'm 21 I need to look at my options and see what I'm doing there.

"I put that into place from a young age. And I came to City and won my first Premier League.

"It's just good to know what I've set out to do - what we've set out as a team to do - is going as planned."
