Henderson: Liverpool best place for Sterling

Jordan Henderson says Liverpool is the best place for teammate Raheem Sterling.

Henderson admits he hasn't been surprised by the progression of Sterling since he first set eyes on him on the training pitch at Melwood.

He told liverpoolfc.com: "He was 16 when I first saw him when he was training with us in the first team.

"You knew he was a talented player and could see he had the mentality to be a top player.

"But he has got to keep his feet on the ground. He is only 19, he has the right people around him at the club and off the field as well which is really important.

"If he keeps working hard, especially with the manager and the players here at Liverpool, then they can really help him kick on.

"I don't think Raheem would (get carried away). I see him off the field and he has the right people around him. I'm sure no-one would let him."
