On signing the deal, the 23-year-old forward who has so far scored seven goals for Manchester City this season said;
‘I’m delighted to sign – my development here has been incredible,’ Sterling said. ‘I felt from the minute I got here it was the right choice for me. It’s really paid off for me and I’m really grateful.
‘Every season you come in you want to do better than your previous season. You want to try and develop and get better.
