Liverpool winger Sterling grateful to England coach Hodgson

Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling is hoping to make England's World Cup squad.

After impressing at Queens Park Rangers, Liverpool came calling when he was 15, paying an initial fee of £600,000. Current England boss Roy Hodgson handed Sterling his senior debut for Liverpool as well as giving him his first England nod.

"[Hodgson] has seen me play and I think he likes the way I play," Sterling told BBC Sport. "I'm grateful he's the manager of England.

"He gives me good motivation to do well. He puts his arm around me and gives me little things I can do better at."
