Newcastle United whizkid Rolando Aarons is keen to avoid comparisons with Liverpool star Raheem Sterling.

Aarons has been likened to Sterling this season.

"I don't want to be compared to Raheem Sterling. I'm Rolando Aarons, I'm my own man," he told the Evening Chronicle.

"When I hear Raheem Sterling's name I don't want to be compared not because I don't think he's a good player but because it's disrespectful in a way. He's achieved a lot and I've done nothing yet, I want to prove myself."
