Lallana: Liverpool starlet Sterling very grounded

Adam Lallana is confident that Liverpool teammate Raheem Sterling will become a world-class player.

The 20-year old winger is continuing to emerge as one of the brightest stars in England and his Reds colleague feels he will only get better due to his humble mindset.

"He is a great lad and he has got his feet firmly on the ground. That is probably one of the best parts about him - he just wants to play football," Lallana told talkSPORT's 'Drivetime'.

"He is proving he is a team player because he has been happy to play as a wing back, a number ten, a striker. He just wants to play football.

"His natural ability shows he is a world class player and he is only going to go on and improve in years to come."
