Selling Raheem Sterling this summer would not have an enormous negative affect on Liverpool says Jan Molby.

The former Reds midfielder is of the belief that the 20-year old winger is not that important to the club and indicated that it would not be a huge issue if Brendan Rodgers were to offload him at the end of the season.

"It's not like Luis Suarez - you knew the impact that losing him would have. I'm not convinced if you sell Sterling it would have the same impact on the team, so it might not be a bad time to sell," said the Dane.

"Liverpool are still in transition and maybe the manager could do with the money."
