Ex-Chelsea, Man Utd ace Wilkins: Liverpool is the perfect club for Sterling

Ray Wilkins believes Liverpool is the best club for Raheem Sterling to continue his development.

The 20-year old England international continues to be the subject of plenty of talk regarding his reported contract rejection at Anfield.

Furthermore, it is believed that clubs such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are keen on the talented winger but former Chelsea and Manchester United midfielder Wilkins has urged him to stay put.

"Liverpool is a spot on club for him. It has to be about football and playing, and at Liverpool he does that because Brendan [Rodgers] plays him week in, week out," Wilkins told talkSPORT.

"Raheem's advisors should be telling him to stay put for the next two or three years and then maybe that move will come, but he has to make a career for himself first."
