#7 Raheem Sterling
Raheem Sterling has been a revelation under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola, as the Spaniard has been successful in taking Sterling’s game to the next level. Before his arrival, Sterling suffered from toothless finishing that arose from his panic and desperation in front of goal. However, Pep has worked on his shortcomings and the result has truly been marvelous. This season, the Man City man has plundered 25 goals and provided 12 assists in what is turning out to be another stellar season for him.
Sterling’s quick feet and mazy dribbles bamboozle his opponents helping him win countless penalties for his team. The trademark goal of Manchester City as well Raheem Sterling has been that tap in goal at the back post from a low drilled cross from the opposite winger. His brilliant positioning, drive, and determination to score these crucial tap ins have enabled him to amass such impressive numbers.
Having been a victim of racism and unfair criticism over the years from fans and the media, Sterling has displayed his mental strength to come out from such a tough situation to being considered one of England’s and Europe’s best attacking players.
