Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has suggested that Raheem Sterlings agent is to blame for the strikers transfer tussle at Liverpool.

Sterling has delayed signing a new Liverpool contract, and his agent Aidy Ward, in an interview with the Evening Standard, said his client has no interest in committing his future to the Merseyside club.

I dont want to single out people. Discretion is the best way, the Gunners boss said. I can understand the media are interested but there is added difficulty if things are aired out in public.

Most of the time, its not the player that is a problem. The agent and player comes as a package. Sometimes the agent is the problem.
