Raheem Sterling Reveals Reasons Behind Liverpool Departure in 2015

Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling has revealed that Liverpool's failure to win the Premier League pushed him to join the Citizens.

Sterling, who left Merseyside for Manchester in July 2015 for £49m, has since gone on to win the league twice under Pep Guardiola, with both an FA Cup triumph and two League Cup victories also recorded.

And, as revealed in an in-depth interview with GQ for the Magazine's upcoming cover story, the England international explained that it was this desire for trophies that pushed him into searching for pastures new at such a young age.
