RAHEEM STERLING has revealed his favourite troller… cheeky seven-year-old daughter Melody.
She chants Liverpool songs to the Manchester City hero, especially on Mo Salah, as Sterling’s old club prepare to dethrone Pep Guardiola’s champs.
Man City superstar Raheem Sterling says he likes daughter Melody having a cheeky personality – even at his expense

And family strife is only getting worse for the England striker – as he admits son Thiago, three, now taunts him when he fails to score.
But Sterling says he loves Melody’s lively character – and his family makes “everything seem perfect” in his life.
He told AS: “She has my sort of personality and she likes to banter and chant Mo Salah’s songs to me.
“She knows the rivalry between Liverpool and the team that I play for so she’s always singing their songs and trying to wind me up but that’s just her personality.”
The 25-year-old added: “Football takes up a lot of your life but at the end of the day when things get rough or tough that is what makes you happy.
I have to make sure to score because my son would tell me that I didn’t for the next four hours

‘Seeing your kids is possibly the most important part of your day.
“They take away everything else that’s going on outside and you can block that out, so when I go home, everything seems perfect.”
Sterling believes being with his three kids – Melody, Thiago and Thai Cruiz – destresses him from the pressures of elite football.
But he pointed out Thiago has begun to join in the stick he gets at home.
Sterling said: “When I finish a game and I don’t score, he lets me know that I didn’t – and he will tell me exactly who scores.
“So I will have to make sure to score, because my son would tell me that I didn’t score for the next four hours.”
