Top 5 players who have played for both Manchester City and Liverpool

#2. Raheem Sterling

Raheem Sterling

He is one of the most in-form players in the world right now and arguably one of the biggest talents to come out through the Liverpool academy in this decade.

Raheem Sterling joined the Liverpool Academy in 2010 after spending seven years with Queens Park Rangers academy. The winger made his Liverpool debut two seasons later coming on as a substitute against Wigan Athletic in January 2012. He became the eighth youngest player to score in the Premier League and managed to cement himself as a first-team player in the following season.

Sterling formed a fearsome attacking trio alongside Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge as Liverpool finished runners-up to Manchester City in the 2013-14 season. Sterling continued his form into the next season but was soon shipped to Manchester City in a high-profile transfer in 2015 after the Reds failed to offer the winger a new contract. In four seasons at Anfield, Sterling made a total of 129 appearances and scored 23 times.

Liverpool's loss was Manchester City's gain as the Citizens acquired Raheem Sterling for a reported transfer fee of around £49 million including add-ons making him the most expensive English player of all-time, a record which has since been broken.

At Manchester City, under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola, Sterling has turned into one of the most feared wingers in the world. He has gone from strength to strength and is arguably the best English player right now. In five seasons with the club, Sterling has already won two Premier Leagues, two League Cups and the FA Cup. He has also made 207 appearances for the Citizens and has 87 goals to his name.

Sterling is also a former Golden boy recipient having won the award in 2012 when he was playing for Liverpool.
