World Cup 2014: 5 Alternatives To Theo Walcott For England
2. Raheem Sterling
Raheem Sterling burst onto the Premier League scene some time ago, and many people were predicting a very bright future for him. However, the Jamaican born winger lost his way a little bit in terms of the way he was able to impact games. Some people at the time felt this partly due to be being involved in the international side too early. Its easy to forget that the player is just 19 years old. The good news is that Sterling has been able to get back to his best this season with a little help from Luis Suarez admittedly. The slight concern may be that the winger isnt starting as many games as Hodgson would ideal like. Sterling has only started nine of Liverpools 20 games this season. However, he is having a very positive impact and also has made contributions from the bench this season. This has seen the player making a league contribution of three goals and two assists; he is also one of the leading players for dribbling in the league with 2.1 per game. Further stats on Sterling this season includes 1.3 shots and 1.4 key passes per game while his average rating of 7.05 illustrates that he is a consistent player.
