Steven Gerrard will join Luis Suarez in leaving Anfield

Sterling continues to stall over a new contract at Anfield but insists he is not a 'money-grabbing 20-year-old'.

Instead, he says he wants to win trophies and that means playing with the best player's possible.

Suarez left for Barcelona last summer while Gerrard will head to the MLS and the LA Galaxy at the end of the season.

"It's obviously left a little dent, these two world-class superstars leaving, but I think we have good players coming through at Liverpool."
