6. Raheem Sterling - Manchester City

Manchester City v Southampton - Premier League
Manchester City v Southampton - Premier League

Raheem Sterling's talent was unquestionable but the Englishman has made a name for himself as one of the most devastating attackers in world football, under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola. Since making the controversial switch from Liverpool, Sterling has been one of the most reliable performers in the Premier League and in recent months, he has also become England's goalscoring sensation alongside Harry Kane, indicating that he is finally coming of age.

Despite losing out to Virgil van Dijk, Sterling came eerily close to winning the PFA Player of the Year award and capped off a sensational treble-winning season with the Cityzens with 25 goals and 18 assists in all competitions. The Englishman has started the season in stunning fashion, as his tally of 14 goals and 5 assists in November makes for impressive reading.

Sterling has become one of the most influential players in world football and the fact that he's already one of the best players in the world at the age of 24 is a frightening proposition, as the former Liverpool man has his prime well ahead of him.
