World Cup 2018: Top 5 England players to look out for

#2 Raheem Sterling

Sterling needs to play a vital role this summer

In 2015, Manchester City spent an astonishing £49 million to sign Raheem Sterling from Liverpool. And their investment paid the dividend as Sterling grew rapidly to become an integral part of the English champions.

Sterling plays a free-flowing football. He can play equally well in both wings and can also contribute as a supporting striker. He is really comfortable on the ball and has a decent vision. His magical runs in the opposition half and shooting skills are certainly something the English fans can look forward to in the upcoming World Cup.

Man City and Sterling both had a magical 2017/18 as they collected a record-breaking total of 100 points on their way to Premier League glory. He netted a total of 18 times in the League and 4 times in the Champions League. But what is more significant is that he created a total of 11 goals in this Premier League season and is tied in the 3rd position with teammate David Silva on the top assist list.
