Raheem Sterling 'wants assurances he is a key player for Pep Guardiola before signing a new contract at Manchester City' after making just two Premier League starts this season

Raheem Sterling is willing to sign a new contract with Manchester City - but only if he receives assurances about his future under Pep Guardiola, reports claim.

The winger enjoyed a sensational summer with England as one of Gareth Southgate's stars of Euro 2020, leading the Three Lions to the final against Italy at Wembley with three goals at the tournament, but he has been unable to replicate that form since returning to club duty.

The 26-year-old has started just twice in the Premier League this season, just four times overall, with Guardiola preferring new £100million signing Jack Grealish, Phil Foden and Gabriel Jesus in his attacking positions.
