Top 10 Premier League young talents 2013/2014

3. Raheem Sterling

Age: 19 | Club: Liverpool | Nationality: English | Position: Winger | Premier League Appearances: 14

Another player who made his big breakthrough the previous season was Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling. The diminutive winger featured heavily in the first half of last season before tailing off a bit in the 2nd half.

With the success of January signings Coutinho and Sturridge, Sterling has taken a bit of a back seat with Rodgers admitting that he might have been overplayed to an extent at the start of last season. This has been remedied this season with his first 5 appearances all from the bench.

He did finally get his first start in the 3-1 win over Crystal Palace and finished the game with an assist to his name. Sturridge’s injury opened the door for the Jamaican and he’s rewarded the manager with a good run of form.

Suarez has undoubtedly been the main man for the Reds and Sterling has certainly done a good job as a member of the supporting cast. A goal and assist against Norwich followed by goals against Spurs and Cardiff and an assist against Manchester City capped off a run of good performances to end the calendar year.

Liverpool have a promising group of young talent at the club and Sterling is very much a central figure amongst them. He’s certainly done well up to now and the Liverpool faithful will hope that he can kick on and become a real star for them.
