Liverpool striker Lambert: Sterling primed for unbelievable season

Liverpool summer signing Rickie Lambert is full of praise for Raheem Sterling.

Lambert has spent the summer with Sterling, both for England at the World Cup and also with Liverpool for preseason.

"I've been really impressed by Razza [Raheem] on this trip and if he keeps on progressing the way he has done over the past year or two he's going to have an unbelievable season," said Lambert to liverpoolfc.com.

"I don't want to put pressure on him but I think he can handle anything that comes his way. He's a top lad as well.

"Nothing fazes him and that's full credit to the management. The manager has created an environment for the young kids to go and thrive and you can see the benefits of that."
