Sterling: I'm no 'money-grabber'

Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling insists he is not 'a money-grabbing 20-year-old' as his contract wrangle rumbles on.

The England international has rejected what manager Brendan Rodgers described as an "incredible offer" - believed to be £100,000-a-week - as the club look to tie down one of their prize assets.

Sterling still has more than two years to run on his current £35,000-a-week deal but talks have been put on hold until the summer.

"I don't want to be perceived as a money-grabbing 20-year-old," he told BBC Sport.

"I just want to be seen as a kid that loves to play football."
