The chances of Arsenal or Tottenham striking a deal for Raheem Sterling in the summer look bleak - after the attacker previously insisted that he 'couldn't' return to London.
The 27-year-old has evolved into one of the most complete players in the Premier League since joining Manchester City back in the summer of 2015. Since then, Sterling has racked up over 300 appearances at the Etihad, netting 130 goals. He's also tasted Premier League glory three times and could even clinch a fourth domestic crown in the coming weeks, with City in pole position to pip his old club, Liverpool, to the title.
But with just over a year remaining on his current deal, Sterling's long-term future at the club is unclear. And although Arsenal and Tottenham would be keen on keeping Sterling in the Premier League, the England star has not been shy about ruling out the prospect of playing in the capital in the past.
