England international Raheem Sterling has bought a house on a five-acre property with his long-term girlfriend Paige Milian and their newborn son Thiago.

The house, which is surrounded by several farms, has its own wildlife pond, a paddock and a one-bedroom guest apartment over a triple garage.

The former Liverpool attacker's new home is just under an hour's drive from City's Etihad Campus training base.
