Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted to see Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling take his game to a new level.

Rodgers worked with Sterling at Liverpool.

"What I loved about Raheem was that for a young boy he knew what he wanted to be," Rodgers said.

"I ask young players what is it that they want to achieve. He wanted to be one of the best players in the world - at that age. That was where he was unique, because sometimes the British players may not have that ambition.

"But he wasn't just expecting it because of his talent. This was a boy who looked after his body and his life to ensure that he could give himself every chance. He's taken his game now to a level where he's clearly one of the best players in the world."
