Raheem Sterling insists it was an easy decision to join Manchester City from Liverpool.

The 20-year-old became the most expensive English player ever last month when he sealed a £49m switch to the Etihad.

Speaking to City's supporters at a club launch ahead of the new Premier League season, Sterling said: “The decision was easy when I first knew [about City's interest].

“With the players they’ve got here, it’s just a really attractive place to be. I’m happy I made that decision.

“It’s been a good pre-season so far. Obviously some of the results haven’t gone our way but there are some great players here.

“I’m really looking forward to linking up with them in the coming season. I’m trying to add more goals and creativity to my game. I’m trying to gets my assist numbers and goals up."

The 16-cap England international added that his aims for the campaign were "doing the best we can and hopefully trying to get some silverware at the end of the season."

Fabian Delph, who was also at the launch, injured his hamstring in his City debut against Real Madrid last month.

But he's remaining upbeat about the future following his £8m transfer from Aston Villa.

“It’s not the best debut but things can only get better from there," he said.

“I’m feeling great now, my recovery is going well and we’ve got a great medical team here. I’m flying at the minute so I’m looking forward to coming back.

“I’m really excited as it’s every boy’s dream to play in the Champions League. I’ve been given the opportunity to come here and do that. Hopefully we can do well in it and I can keep pushing on.”
