Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has claimed that his England teammate Raheem Sterling is "a lot more relaxed and settled" since leaving Liverpool for Manchester City.
The 20-year-old's £49m switch to the Etihad Stadium was one of the biggest transfers in the summer window.
Prior to his move, Sterling had a slump in form at Anfield and suffered racist abuse on social media.
Now though, the winger is beginning to find form having scored his first competitive goal for City in their 2-0 victory over Watford at the end of August.
"You can see he's settled," the Daily Star quotes Rooney as saying. "He's happy, I'm sure. He's got the move he wanted. He's started the season excellently - settled in really well at City.
"When you are going through what he did, trying to leave Liverpool, it can be quite difficult, but he's a lot more relaxed and settled, which is good for [England]."
Sterling could feature in tonight's Euro 2016 qualifier against Switzerland at Wembley.
