Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says Liverpool are powerless if Raheem Sterling chooses he wants to move on.

Redknapp conceded that, if he wants to force a move, there is very little Liverpool can do to stop him.

"Sterling is not going to go to Real Madrid at the moment I wouldn't think, so where could he go better in England?" said Redknapp while working as a pundit for BT Sport.

"I think he's at a great club, he's working under a manger who obviously works hard with him on the training ground, he's improved him. I think he needs to sign his contract and get on with his football.

"It's very hard to keep players who really make up their mind they want to leave.

"When they want to go, they've got all the power. If he decides to down tools, they've got a problem."
