Defending Champions Manchester City are all set to start their league campaign against Tottenham Hotspur on 15th August. The Sky Blues although have kicked off the season with a 1-0 loss against Leicester City in the Community Shield Final, but are now hoping to make amends with a bright start at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

Before City begin proceedings in the Championship, they would have to resolve their transfer business as they are still waiting to sign Harry Kane from Spurs. Besides the Englishman, the club also will have to decide on the future of their no.7

Recent reports from The Sun have now revealed that Raheem Sterling will stay at the Etihad this summer. This latest revelation from The Sun will surely provide some relief to the fans, as in recent weeks, there has been a lot of rumours regarding a potential exit for the star attacker.

Arsenal and Tottenham had apparently shown interest in the signature of the English international as they look to add more force to their final third this summer.

Last season, Sterling’s dip in form saw him lose a starting place in Guardiola’s side. The former Liverpool man had average figures in front of the goal as he could manage only 10 goals in 31 appearances in the Championship.

However, the Kingston born attacker seems to have overcome his bad run of form. His solid performances in the recent European Championship helped the Three Lions reach the final of the competition. In seven matches, the Englishman scored three crucial goals for Gareth Southgate’s side and was highly effectively upfront with Harry Kane.

Currently, Sterling has two years left on his contract, and chances are that he might sign an extension till the summer of 2024. Therefore, we can expect a new deal to be announced in the next few days.
