LONDON, CMC- British Police are investigating threats against Jamaican born English footballer Raheem Sterling who is on the verge of an expensive transfer from Liverpool to Manchester City.
Sterling’s transfer has been a major talking point in the British press after Liverpool initially said it would not sell him, even after the winger turned down a new deal during last season.
Police have confirmed they are investigating twitter threats made against Sterling and his three-year-old daughter after news of his imminent switch from Liverpool to Manchester City was announced.
“The language used in these tweets is abhorrent,” a Police spokesman said in the Liverpool Echo.
“We are taking the incident extremely seriously and an investigation by detectives in Liverpool CID is ongoing”.
