While his performance trajectory for national team has fluctuated, his immense talent makes him an integral player in the team. Doing amazingly well in the youth ranks, Sterling got proper gametime for the Liverpool senior team in the season.
While he gave a good account of his talent, occasional shoddy performances brought him down. However, it was just a precursor for the better things to come. He formed a lethal attacking trident with Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez. He scored and created goals and finished the season with 10 goals in all competitions. However, trouble was brewing related to his contract extension. Sterling was vehement in demanding fee hike. While he was still valuable for Liverpool in the field, off field issues took centre stage.
He even lost support of Anfield and was occasionally booed in the later half of the season when Sterling failed to show up for trainings and openly requested for fee hike. His first season at City was uninspiring and a far cry from his potential and price tag. The highlight of the injury ridden season was the hattrick against Bournemouth early in the season. Raheem Sterling was at his inconsistent best in season where he was unstoppable at times but eventually his form would fade away.
He still fetched 11 goals in all competitions with his askew form. His finishing has improved drastically and he has been creating chances at will. This was a moment that brought smiles to their faces as seen in the picture below.
Raheem has helped every one of his extended family financially. Below is a picture of his extended family and his mum. His first child and daughter, Melody Rose was born in after a brief relationship.
Again, before his move to Liverpool, they had a split but then got back together when the England ace moved to Liverpool. Long term girlfriend and model Paige Milian also had a son called Thiago who was born in Manchester where his dad plays football. Caring Raheem was over the moon and was all joyful as he witnessed the safe arrival of his first son. He was present all the way through the birth and helped Paige through labour. Raheem Sterling naturally loves children.
He loves to spend perfect quality time with his daughter and niece who really has his face. He whisked Elise Wagstaff and her sister Elene to his Caribbean hideaway while his girlfriend Paige Hansel was on a separate holiday in Crete. The pair posted pictures that included a pile of cash, a private plane, a fleet of supercars and a number of bikini shots showing them lounging next to the pool while enjoying the sunshine.
Sterling who stayed far away from her has apparently been chasing the teenager for months before finally getting her to date him. Meanwhile, as this happens, Page was left celebrating her birthday in Greece alone.
His arm tattoo pay tribute to his mum for her role in bringing him through his troubled childhood. Another tattoo shows a picture of his beloved daughter Melody, who was born after a brief fling with his childhood girlfriend. Another tattoo of his displays inspiration from his childhood time at west London. I used to stand and look at its edifice as a little boy. Sterling visits Jamaica to see and pay loyalty to his homeboys who never stops eating his monies.
On regular occasions, Raheem splashes out thousands of pounds to his old pals. These were the friends who knew him in his troubled past. On 8 August , Sterling was arrested for an alleged common assault on his former girlfriend, a model.
He was found not guilty at Liverpool Magistrates Court on 20 September, when the complainant was unable to offer consistent evidence. A few months earlier, on 20 May , a charge of common assault on a different woman was dropped just as the trial was set to start when the two witnesses failed to appear and the prosecution offered no further evidence.
In April , Sterling was photographed by the Sunday Mirror allegedly smoking a shisha pipe, and allegedly inhaling its nitrous oxide for recreational purposes. As long as they learn from them, that is what is important.
He did acquire the car to copy his boss who has a similar Bentley. The zippy winger should have no trouble racing around in this car which is capable of mph in as little as 4. In he was spotted driving with a parking ticket still attached to its windscreen. The Mercedes C63 does mph in four seconds.
According to reports, Sterling is fond of turning up to training with a new car every day of the week in what is a pretty serious rotation policy. And then there was this absolute clanger on their official Twitter feed. Ater Southampton equalised, Sterling went on to provide the assist for Daniel Sturridge to score the winner, cushioning a header into Sturridge's path for a close-range tap-in.
On 31 August Liverpool's third match of the season, away to Spurs- Sterling opened the scoring with a close range finish after Jordan Henderson played a ball across the box. The Reds went on to win Sterling scored again on 20 September , striking a rasping drive when collecting the rebound of Mario Balotelli 's blocked shot in an away tie with West Ham.
Although Sterling halved Liverpool's deficit to , the Hammers eventually prevailed Although he was largely deemed to be one of Liverpool's standout players in the encounter, a misplaced backpass in the dying moments of the match led to Boro winning a penalty when the Reds were to the good.
After netting to equalise, the match went to a penalty shootout. Although Liverpool were to prevail , Sterling missed his spot kick. After failing to make England's starting XI, manager Roy Hodgson claimed this was due to the fact that Sterling had informed him he was "tired. Others defended Sterling's honesty, and Brendan Rodgers jumped to the starlet's defence.

Sterling played in his th game for Liverpool on 14 December , in the Reds' away defeat to Manchester United. Sterling had been deployed as a lone striker by Brendan Rodgers in the match, and was denied a goal on a number of occasions by United's David De Gea.

He returned to action in the win away to Aston Villa on 17 January On 20 January , Sterling scored an impressive solo goal in Liverpool's semi final first leg tie at home to Chelsea, picking up the ball part way through the Chelsea half before dribbling his way into the box and slotting past keeper Thibaut Courtois.
The match finished with Liverpool losing the return leg. Sterling's next goal came on 31 January , as he opened the scoring in Liverpool's home win over West Ham.
