4) Raheem Sterling
Pacing down the left side, doubling back to help the defence, providing assists and scoring goals, Raheem Sterling saw himself do that when he rose in the Merseyside and was one of the most loved talents of England but soon though, he switched sides. He arrived at a place which the scousers hate that is Manchester. In the blue army of Manchester, Sterling is sure to develop and he is showing his development just fine besides the likes of David Silva, Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne etc.
Sterling has made 28 appearances so far this season and he has scored 6 goals. Sterling has an average shooting accuracy of 60% and an average passing accuracy, a whopping average passing accuracy of 86%. He has succeeded in 52% of his Take-Ons and has suffered 65% challenges. It just proves the dribbling capacity of the player and his ability to beat defenders or draw them towards committing fouls.
An impressive talent who’s developing according to his own terms, Raheem Sterling is bound to go a long way in his career but can he make a big leap towards earning a major award? That’s yet to be seen but no one can deny that he is a strongly deserving contender just like others in this top 5.
