2014 – Raheem Sterling, Liverpool (Now: Manchester City)
The first Englishman to win the award since Wayne Rooney, Sterling forced his way out of Liverpool after a breakout 2014 season.
Man City signed him for over £45 million in the summer – the largest Premier League fee ever for an English player. But after the way he’s played for the Citizens this season, £45 million seems like it may have been a bargain.
