Comolli feels Sterling should commit to Liverpool

Former director of football Damien Comolli believes Raheem Sterling should commit himself to Liverpool.

The 18-year old winger has risen to prominence under Brendan Rodgers this season and Comolli feels it would be right to pen a new deal with the Reds and repay the faith shown in him.

"My advice would be sign the contract and stay at Liverpool unless there is something which makes him really uncomfortable," Comolli told talkSPORT.

"We tried to look after Raheem as much as we could - he was really a long-term project - and I think he should commit.

"I really don't think money should be an issue. He is 18 and it is going to be one of many contracts he is going to sign and he is going to end up being a wealthy individual.

"The important contract, if you are money-orientated, is the one you sign when you are 31 not 18."
