The England international started the season in a bright fashion, but he has looked far from his best over recent months.

Against Leicester City yesterday, Sterling was guilty of missing several clear-cut chances and also squandered a penalty.

He grabbed an assist for Cole Palmer 's goal in the 4-2 FA Cup quarter-final win, but his substitution led to boos from the fans.

Sterling has been linked with a big-money move to Saudi this month, but reports claim that he has no desire to leave the club.

The attacker is determined to repay the faith shown by manager Mauricio Pochettino and he is keen to win over the fans again.

His decision to stay put could be bad news for the Blues, who need to recoup at least £100m from player sales before July.

The club are close to breaching Financial Fair Play spending limits and can't afford to spend without recouping funds.
