Raheem Sterling reveals he is open to playing abroad in the future

Manchester City star Raheem Sterling has gone on to become one of the most important players under Pep Guardiola. He has become a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League. Now the Englishman has revealed that playing abroad has always been a dream of his.

Sterling said that he remains committed to the project at Manchester City though he is not sure about where his future will take him. He told GQ,

"I love it here [Man City]."

"This is one of the best clubs in the world and I'm here for the long haul. But you just don't know what happens in the future. I'm still young and, like I say, I am loving every minute.

"Ever since I was a kid, 100 per cent it's always been a dream of mine to play abroad somewhere. It would be nice one day to finish training and go home and sit in your garden and eat some dinner."
