STERLING: THE NEXT STEPS

Sky Sports News HQ reporter Peter Stevenson is at the Etihad Stadium this evening chasing all of the latest information on Raheem Sterling. He says there are only a couple of obstacles to overcome before the deal is completed.

"The stage is set for Sterling to meet with City or certainly start talks over personal terms. Then there would be the normal formality of a medical. Once those two aspects are sorted out we imagine this deal will hurriedly move to a conclusion and Sterling will become a Manchester City player.

"What happens next is very interesting because City, by coincidence, are also in Australia on their pre-season tour. Will Sterling join up with them? We'll have to wait and see."
