STERLING DEPARTS

Posted on: Sat 27 Feb 2010
Raheem Sterling has joined Liverpool for an undisclosed fee.

The QPR youth product has been a regular in the QPR Under 18s this season and has also featured in the Reserves.

The 15-year-old made his debut for the England U16s in November as a second-half substitute against Northern Ireland, and has gone on to make two further appearances for Kenny Swain's team.

QPR's Youth Development Manager Steve Gallen said: "It is obviously disappointing to lose Raheem. I know him very well, having worked closely with him for a number of years.

"We wanted to keep him, but Raheem was keen to play for an Academy, and Liverpool is obviously an excellent move for him, as far as that is concerned.

"Liverpool's bid matched our valuation of him, and we all wish him well.

"Raheem is a fantastic lad with a brilliant attitude. The players and staff are going to miss him around the place.

"I hope, and I firmly believe, that he will have a great future in the game."

The Club wishes Raheem well for the future.
