Lucas Leiva insists Liverpool teammate Raheem Sterling is in good sprits.
Lucas says Sterling is unaffected over his contract speculation.
"It's incredible how much he (Sterling) can achieve," Lucas told Sky Sports. "He's got all the potential and of course there has been a lot of talk about his contract situation but he's dealing with it well on the pitch.
"Off the pitch he is getting advice that he thinks is best for him. My advice for him would be to play football - although it is hard to give advice. He knows what's best for him as do his agent and family."
