A source close to Sterling confirmed the arrest but insisted there was no proof of drugs in his system. The source also revealed that the former Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea winger has experienced an extremely tough couple of years, feeling "worthless" and "forgotten about" during a difficult career phase.

The driver, a 31-year-old man, from Berkshire, has been arrested on suspicion of driving a vehicle whilst unfit through drugs, driving dangerously, possession of a Class C drug and failing to provide a specimen. He has been bailed while our enquiries continue.

Sterling, who most recently played for Feyenoord in the Dutch Eredivisie, joined the club in February on a short-term deal. He made only eight appearances during his time in the Netherlands after his contract with Chelsea was terminated. Despite recent struggles, Sterling remains one of England's most accomplished players, having won four Premier League titles with Manchester City and earning 82 caps for England.
