The England international will now link up with the likes of David Silva and Kun Aguero to form one of the deadliest attacking units in the country.

It is believed that QPR are set to receive a fee in the region of 10 million pounds due to a clause in Sterling’s contract when he joined the Reds from QPR. Furthermore, the England star is also set to receive a handsome loyalty bonus as he managed to avoid handing in a transfer request.

Liverpool are now likely to push ahead with their move for Christian Benteke and wrap up, what has been a good summer window for them.
