Raheem Sterling sent Man City transfer message amid Arsenal links

Former Liverpool and England midfielder Steve McManaman believes Raheem Sterling should stay at Manchester City this forthcoming summer, despite ongoing links connecting him with a move to Arsenal.

Sterling, who will be aiming to help City wrap up the Premier League title when they face Aston Villa on the final day of the season on Sunday, has been closely linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in recent months. The Blues' vast array of attacking talent means that none of Pep Guardiola's forward players are guaranteed starting berths every week, especially when he likes to alternate between them so often.

But the England international has played a key role in City's quest to retain their Premier League crown this term, scoring 13 goals and grabbing five assists in the league. He has, overall, chipped in with 17 goals and eight assists in all competitions.
