England coach Roy Hodgson is urging Liverpool contract rebel Raheem Sterling to make the most of his ability.

Hodgson feels he has the potential to match Chelsea ace Eden Hazard.

"I like everyone else is a great admirer of Hazard. He has been fantastic and watching him play has been a joy. I would like to think that Raheem can also reach very high levels," Hodgson stated.

"He's already won the young player of the award for Liverpool. There's no reason why he can't look three, four years ahead and hope he will be at that level."
