Speedster, trickster and now rising star, Raheem’s career trajectory has been keeping up with the Jamaican-born star’s pace.

His ability to play anywhere on the flanks has made him a very useful addition to both Liverpool and Manchester City and is set to play a key role in the Citizens’ quest for a third Premier League title.

He has been one of the most talked about players in the league since he made his debut for Liverpool in 2012 and is the second most expensive English player in history following his £49m move to the Etihad Stadium in 2015.

With 36 goals and 22 assists in 165 games, there is still a lot of work to be done on Sterling before he can truly be called a very good player.
