Former Red tells Liverpool: Sort out Raheem Sterling's contract NOW!

That’s the view of former Reds defender Steve Nicol, who claims the clubs should sell the forward quickly if he’s definitely going to leave Anfield this summer.

 

The England flyer wants to leave the Merseysiders, after telling Brendan Rodgers he would not sign a new deal.

And Nicol insists the side must come to a decision shortly – for the good of the whole team.

“If Raheem Sterling is going to go, and Liverpool have decided to let him go, then get rid of him quick,” he told talkSPORT. “If they don’t, Sterling has a huge PR job in front of him.

“[If he stays] Sterling has to first and foremost do one thing and one thing only, get the fans back on side.

“If he doesn’t there’s going to be an absolute nightmare for him. That’s then going to affect the rest of the team as well.”
