Graeme Souness: 'Raheem Sterling should remain at Liverpool'

Former Liverpool captain Graeme Souness believes that Raheem Sterling should remain at the club in order to develop his career properly.

Former Liverpool captain Graeme Souness has claimed that there is "nowhere better" for Raheem Sterling to develop his career than at Anfield.

The 20-year-old winger is expected to leave the club at the end of the season after turning down a bumper new contract.

Sterling, who has been linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, is due to be a free agent in summer 2017.

"He's far from being the finished article," Souness told Sky Sports News. "He should stay at Liverpool, learn his trade and get on with it.

"If he's privately making it known he wants to leave Liverpool, then that word would soon get out and the supporters then would be entitled to turn on him.

"Maybe someone should whisper in his ear and tell him he's not going anywhere better, there is nowhere better. At this stage in his career, there's nowhere better than Liverpool Football Club. Right now, it's all about him learning the game, understanding the game and improving and he's at the best possible club he could be at."

Liverpool finish their Premier League campaign on Sunday when they travel to Stoke City.
