Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling has offered to cover the costs of Damary Dawkins' funeral.

The Crystal Palace prospect passed away last month due to acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

Sterling had supported a campaign by the Dawkins family to find a suitable stem cell donor for Damary.

The Manchester City winger paid tribute to the youngster after scoring in England's 5-0 win over the Czech Republic last month - lifting his shirt to reveal a picture of the two of them together.

"Damary was a special young man who touched a lot of lives, including my own," said Sterling.

"Positive until the very end, he was an example to us all."
