There was once a time when Raheem Sterling was popular with Liverpool fans. Having joined the club as a 16-year-old from QPR for a reported £600,000 fee potentially rising to £2m, the England star burst onto the scene at Anfield. After an initial bedding in period, he made his Reds debut in a March 2012 fixture against Wigan.
Over the next three years he excelled, particularly as part of the devastating Suarez-Sturridge-Sterling frontline when Liverpool so nearly won the Premier League title in 2013/14.
He exited Liverpool in 2015 under a cloud after refusing to sign a new deal. Sterling left the club with 23 goals in 129 games in all competitions and signed for Manchester City for a £49m fee, at the time becoming the most expensive British player of all time. He has since gone onto net 131 goals in 339 appearances for City and win four Premier League titles among other honours.
