1) Raheem Sterling (Liverpool)
The once in a generation talent that is Raheem Sterling has long since been in the public limelight. Since making his Reds debut in 2012, Sterling’s rise has been both incredible and rapid. Within two years he had become a key player for both club and country, while he was at the forefront of both England’s World Cup campaign in Brazil and Liverpool’s run to second place in the Premier League – alongside Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge. This season, without the ‘SAS’ there to support him, his game has taken on an extra dimension. He has proved himself capable of playing in a central striker role, as well as the top of a diamond midfield and out wide, while he has, at times, dragged an ailing Liverpool side back into top four contention.
