Raheem Sterling is the PFA Young Player of the Year
Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling has won the 2018-19 PFA Young Player of the Year award.
Sterling has enjoyed a remarkable year in the Premier League.
In 32 games, Sterling has scored 17 goals and chipped in with 10 assists.
It’s also worth noting that Raheem Sterling has been named Football Writers Player of the Year.
Man City vs West Ham
Yet not everyone is happy about Sterling’s latest award.
In the Daily Mail on Tuesday, columnist Martin Samuel argues that Sterling should have won the PFA Young Player of the Year prize.
Samuel, a well-known West Ham fan, argued that the award should have gone to Declan Rice instead. He wrote:
Not that Raheem Sterling doesn’t merit individual recognition, but it was preposterous that he should collect Young Player of the Year from the Professional Footballers’ Association.
Sterling is 24, has played 316 games across eight seasons and is one cap short of 50 for England. In football terms, he’s anything but young.
Declan Rice is a logical Young Player of the Year, or David Brooks of Bournemouth.

Sterling has also addressed winning the Young Player of the Year award on social media this week.
The Man City star has joked about why he was included for the honour.
