Manchester City striker Raheem Sterling, whose move to Chelsea is imminent, said goodbye to the "townsmen".
“Seven seasons, 11 major trophies and a lifetime of memories. To the coaching staff who have played a huge role in my development over the years. To my teammates, who have become more than just those who shared the football field with me. To the backroom and office staff, to the fans who tirelessly supported the team and to everyone involved with Manchester City. My boundless respect to you. What a way it was!
I came to Manchester when I was 20 years old. Today I walk like an adult. Thank you for your endless support. I was proud to wear the Manchester City shirt," Sterling wrote to himself on Twitter.
