He may be on his way out of Liverpool but that has not dampened Raheem Sterling’s camaraderie with his Liverpool team-mates.

Sterling, alongside fellow Anfield attacking midfielders Philippe Coutinho, Lazar Markovic and Jordon Ibe took part in the dizzy penalty challenge which has become an internet craze.

The foursome struggled to stay on their feet after spinning around in a circle on the spot for 15 rotations, before attempting to take a penalty, with hilarity ensuing.

Sterling weakly toe-poked his penalty straight at the goalkeeper after only spinning around 11 times, apparently due to his inability to stay on his feet.

And he seemed to enjoy chuckling at his team-mates’ rotation struggles almost as much as taking part in the challenge himself.

Indeed, with Coutinho up first Sterling fell to the ground in stitches, in tandem with the Brazilian who spectacularly failed to keep has balance on his ninth spin.

After eventually completing the requisite spins Coutinho aimed a respectable right-footed side-foot shot just to the right of the goal post.

Markovic was up second and much like Coutinho he struggled to keep his balance, slowly crumpling to the floor on his eighth rotation, much to his team-mates’ amusement.

After collecting himself, he stumbled running to the spot after his final spin, before blazing his penalty over the right side of the crossbar.

19-year-old Ibe was the last to rise to the challenge and he fared the best, with only a minimal wobble and a cry of ‘oh my days’ before making his way to the ball and planting a well-hit shot to the keeper’s right.
