Former England footballer Raheem Sterling has pleaded guilty to dangerous driving in a Lamborghini.

Sterling, 31, also admitted to possessing six canisters of the class C drug, nitrous oxide, and failing to provide a specimen to police.

He crashed the Lamborghini Urus SUV on the M3 southbound, close to the Minley Interchange in Hampshire, on 28 May.

Police said no other vehicles were involved and there were no injuries.

Sterling appeared at Basingstoke Magistrates' Court and admitted dangerous driving on the M25, the M3, the A327 and Minley Road prior to the crash.

He appeared in court wearing a black suit jacket, black trousers, black shoes and a dark top.

Sterling played for Liverpool before switching to Manchester City in 2015, where he won four Premier League titles and helped the club break the league's points record.

He transferred to Chelsea in 2022 and was loaned to Arsenal in 2024. However, his Stamford Bridge contract was terminated in January.

After a brief stint with Dutch club Feyenoord, he's now without a club.
