Manchester City star Raheem Sterling surprises sister by buying her new house for 27th birthday

MANCHESTER CITY ace Raheem Sterling made sure his sister would have a birthday she will never forget after treating her to a new house.

The England winger, who earns around £180,000-a-week, wanted to surprise Kima-Lee for her 27th birthday.

And he recorded the moment his sister took off her blindfold for the first time to see her new plush pad.

Sterling 23, took to Instagram to reveal that he had to do “something big for her 27th birthday” and that he got her a “little gift.”

The camera then cuts to the moment his blindfolded sister steps out of the car as Sterling instructs her to walk up the driveway.

Sterling then tells her to “take off her blindfold” with the whole family waiting inside the property.

Much to her shock and delight, they shout a chorus of “surprise” before she is mobbed by the family.

Inside one of the rooms are golden balloons that spell out “yours” and it appears as though she wipes away a tear of joy.

She is then serenaded with happy birthday before the camera flicks to her embracing Sterling for the gift.

Alongside the video, he captioned it: “My sister had an amazing birthday. I thank the lord for your beautiful soul and personality, our story we don’t need to talk too much but at least we can thank the lord we past the worst.”

Sterling and his family share a remarkable story which began in poverty on the streets of Kingston, Jamaica.

At the age of six he moved to one of London’s toughest estates in Neasden, where he swapped the gangs to play football in a field near Wembley.

And no doubt his sister would agree that he made the right choice.

He wasn’t the only footballer to treat a family member with a house this week after Real Madrid ace Gareth Bale splashed out £250,000 on his future sister-in-law.
