Raheem Sterling trolls Piers Morgan for 2015 tweet as Morgan makes amends

Man City winger Raheem Sterling got back at football pundit Piers Morgan for a tweet the 55-year-old Englishman made 5 years ago. Piers Morgan took a dig at Raheem Sterling back in 2015 when he was set to join Man City from Liverpool. Raheem Sterling was close to joining Man City for a recorded sum of £49 million from Liverpool and Piers Morgan ridiculed the move with his tweet. Piers Morgan via his tweet in July 2015 stated: "If Raheem Sterling's worth £49 million then I'm an Aardvark."
