Raheem Sterling has revealed why he has quit the social networking sites Twitter and Facebook.

The 18-year-old had a substantial following on Twitter but decided to delete his @sterling31 account earlier this year.

He told Liverpoolfc.com: "I've deleted my Twitter and Facebook, and come off BBM.

"I just need to get my head down, really, and concentrate on my football, start scoring goals, stuff like that.

"I'm going to be more and more professional.

"I won't be back on there. Me and Twitter are finished!"
