Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has dismissed concerns that winger Raheem Sterling is unsettled by speculation over his future.

Talks over a new deal between the Anfield outfit and the 20-year-old's representatives are said to be stalling, but the Reds boss believes that an agreement will be reached.

Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo: "I don't think there's any way there's anything affecting him. I'll never be surprised teams are linked with Raheem because he's such a big talent. He's a wonderful young player and a very mature young man. I'm quite relaxed about it.

"Raheem's happy here and loves being a Liverpool player. I'm sure between him and the representatives, we can get a deal done that sees him go on and continue to develop what is an exciting career."

German giants Bayern Munich are the latest club linked with Sterling.
