Raheem Sterling eyes 100 England caps

England winger Raheem Sterling reveals his desire to reach 100 appearances for his country by the time he hangs up his boots.

Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling has set his sights on winning a century of caps for England by the time he finishes his career.

The 20-year-old already has 18 international appearances to his name having broken into the senior set-up three years ago, while manager Roy Hodgson has previously suggested that the youngster could reach triple figures.

Sterling acknowledged that such a tally was a long way away, but made no secret of his desire to join the names that currently adorn the Three Lions century club.

"I want to do my best for my country and hopefully be up there with some of the players who have played and try to achieve 100 caps in the future," he told reporters.

"I've got 18 now so hopefully if I keep working hard and do well for my club then I can be picked for a few more squads.

"It's a long time away but that is definitely my ambition towards the end of my career."

To date, just nine players have won 100 caps or more for England - Peter Shilton, David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Bobby Moore, Wayne Rooney, Ashley Cole, Sir Bobby Charlton, Frank Lampard and Billy Wright.
