The agent of English attacker Raheem Sterling denies that the Manchester City star was behind the wheel, as images of the former Liverpool ace’s destroyed Mercedes surfaced.
The 20-year-old, who sealed a £49m move to the Etihad, is gearing for his English Premier League debut with his new side, but will be hoping not to be affected by the crashing of his £125,000 car.
Interesting enough, images show a huge dent in the Three Lions man’s car, with both air bag deployed and what appears to be empty laughing gas canisters laying in the front seat, which Sterling was previously videotaped inhaling.
However, Sterling's agent has distanced the player from the crash, with sources revealing to the Sun that the car was lent to a friend, as the player is believed to have been training in Manchester for the Citizens’ English Premier League opener vs West Brom.
"The Merc was in London for days after the smash. Raheem wasn't in the car at the time, he was training in Manchester. It looks like he lent it to a mate."

"Raheem needs to think about whether he's hanging around with the right kind of people, especially as he is such a high-profile star."
The car was left in London before eventually being sent to Manchester for repairs.
The player was controversially caught inhaling nitrous oxide, also known as hippy crack or laughing gas, TWICE, whilst also being pictured smoking a sisha pipe.
