The original Premier League Hobbit, Zola helped change long-held perceptions on height in football
#5 Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)

Height: 5 feet, 7 inches (1.7m)
Sterling is improving under Pep Guardiola and should be a Premier League winner before long
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.

Well, I love football (a look at my body of work tells a better story). However, I also love other sports and from time to time, pen articles concerning basketball, tennis, boxing, and e-sports.
I follow these sports as much as I can, this explains why I write on a lot of different topics ranging from analysis and tactics to transfers and a whole lot more (reviews, previews and everything in between).
Real Madrid is the team closest to my heart (same goes for Rafa Nadal, Raul Gonzalez, Mike Tyson, Mortal Kombat and the San Antonio Spurs).
