Harry Redknapp has urged Raheem Sterling to sign a new Liverpool contract, adding that the forward is lucky to be at Anfield.

The 20-year-old is still to sign a new long-term deal with the 18-time English champions despite the Merseyside club expressing a desire to secure Sterling’s long-term Anfield future.

The England international, who is is reported to be demanding £150,000-a-week, has been linked with a move to Liverpool’s Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester City, as well as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

Former Queens Park Rangers and Tottenham Hotspur manager Redknapp believes Sterling should end the speculation surrounding his future and put pen to paper on a new extended deal.

“Sign your contract. You are at a great club, you are playing regularly, you have become an England international, you’re learning the game,” Redknapp told talkSPORT.

“Have another two or three years of playing as you are now, keep taking your game on and you will get the rewards. The money is there anyway, but you will be up there with the top earners in the world in another two or three years if you keep progressing.

“You are at a fantastic club, one of the best football clubs in the world. You are lucky to be playing at a club like Liverpool. Get your nut down, do your job, and the rewards will keep coming.”

Sterling, who was poached by Liverpool from Queens Park Rangers as a teenager, has scored six goals and has made seven assists in 28 Premier League appearances this season.
