Despite his tender age, England sensation Raheem Sterling has proved he isn't short of confidence on the international stage by already setting his sights on becoming an all-time great for his country.

Sterling, 20, has racked up 18 appearances for England, scoring twice, since bursting into Roy Hodgson's side just prior to the 2014 World Cup.

His first taste of a major international tournament was bittersweet as England were dumped out after just two games in Brazil.

However, the Manchester City winger has spearheaded the revolution in the England side as a younger core of players that has come to the fore in a remarkably successful campaign for Euro 2016 that saw Hodgson's men win all 10 of their qualifiers.

Sterling has seen England captain Wayne Rooney and former Liverpool mentor Steven Gerrard pass into the pantheon of just nine Englishmen to have represented their country over 100 times in recent years.

Hodgson has backed his prodigy to reach the same mark and Sterling admitted that is one of the primary goals he has in mind.
