Rahim Sterling just received the best Christmas gift of his life--signing a five-year contract with Liverpool and committing his long-term future to Anfield.
Imagine being 18 years-old and going from making only a few hundred pounds a week playing Premier League football--which is a reward in itself at that age--to now receiving a five figured pay packet. Sterling is truly living out a dream scenario.
Liverpool moved swiftly to lock up their talented youngster, rewarding him for his achievements and quick rise into the first team picture. Sterling has made 25 appearances in all competitions this season under Brendan Rodgers, and has become one of the first names on the manager’s team sheet.
“There’s a lot more to be done. I haven’t begun yet, as the manager has said. Hopefully I can kick on after the New Year and try to do my best for the team and the football club,” said Sterling after putting pen to paper. Hopefully for Reds supporters, the youngster will not become complacent with his future now secured.
Sterling is a tremendous talent, and the notion of complacency is far-fetched, especially with Steven Gerrard as captain and Luis Suarez's constant chirping on the pitch.
