Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling has pledged his international future to England.

Sterling had the option of switching his allegiances to Jamaica, despite making his international debut for England against Sweden in November.

However, despite remaining eligible to represent the country in which he was born, the 18-year-old has revealed that he wants to continue to play for England at the highest level.

Sterling told The Guardian: "It was a dream come true to play against Sweden. As a 15-year-old I can remember sitting at home and praying to get an Under-16 call-up, so to be getting a senior call-up a few years later was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

"I want to keep driving on and do a bit more. Obviously I've got Jamaican roots but no-one tried to put any pressure on me, which was the good thing. But I couldn't turn my back on England because I've grown up through the English youth system and progressed from there.

"I couldn't just switch over. So it was a good thing for me to be called up and make my debut. It's 100% going to be England from now on."

Sterling has represented every England team from the Under-16 level to the senior side.
