Liverpool to reward Sterling bumper new deal

Raheem Sterling is set to be handed a new contract by Liverpool.

The Sunday Mirror says Sterling is in line for a massive new Liverpool contract - just 18 months after signing a deal that gave him a 1,700 per cent pay hike.

Sunday Mirror Sport understands that Liverpool have agreed to open fresh talks with the 19-year-old , following the World Cup.

And, if Sterling returns from Brazil with his burgeoning reputation enhanced even further, he will be looking to command a salary in the region of £100,000 a week.

The Jamaica-born winger still has three years left on the contract he signed in December 2012 and that took his basic pay up from £2,000 a week to almost £35,000 a week.
