Liverpool are close to securing Raheem Sterling on a new contract according to reports.
Sky Sports suggests that the 20-year old winger, who is contracted until 2017, is on the verge of agreeing a fresh five-year deal with the Reds which he is expected to sign in the next few days.
Sterling's future at Anfield has been in question for some time now but it is believed that he will commit himself to the cause but penning an extension which will see him remain on Merseyside until at least 2020.
The England international was a target for Spanish giants Real Madrid recently but it appears as though he will give Liverpool some joy after it was confirmed captain Steven Gerrard would depart at the end of the season.
