Soccer wonderkid Raheem Sterling is the dad of a baby girl — conceived when he was 16.
Sterling, now 17, has caught the eye after breaking into the Liverpool first team this season and was called up to the last Three Lions squad. He has already played for England youth teams.
Yesterday the mite’s mum, 23-year-old Melissa Clarke, from the Toxteth area, confirmed: “Yes, he’s fathered my child.”
Melissa had already posted snaps of the baby on Twitter.
She wrote a message for the winger — who wears the No 31 shirt — on the website saying: “Thanks for making me a mummy to this beautiful little girl @sterling31.”
And after one game she posted: “@sterling31 melody said well done daddy.”
Sterling arrived in the country from Jamaica aged five.
He grew up on a tough housing estate in Wembley, North West London, and joined QPR.
Liverpool signed him from them at just 15 in February 2010 for £600,000 — which could rise to £5million depending on appearances.
