#3 Raheem Sterling - £180,000-per-week

Raheem Sterling.

Since arriving from Liverpool for £49m in 2015, Sterling has been a force to be reckoned with on the right flank, but it's his end product that has let him down.

Raheem Sterling is perhaps one of the most inconsistent players in recent Premier League history. He is a sublime footballer on his day, but many of the chances that come his way tend to be wasted. Sterling is primarily a right-winger but has been utilised as an all-out striker in recent months - but is this a good decision, considering his shooting accuracy was just 39% last season, and he also missed 45 "big chances". Are these the stats of a "world-class" striker?

Based purely on the amount of chances Raheem Sterling can make, he is an asset to the Manchester City attack, which means that his wages are justified in the grand scheme of things.
