(Reuters) - Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers says he has been impressed by Raheem Sterling's desire to be one of the best players in the world as his team prepare to face the Manchester City forward in the Premier League on Monday. "What I loved about Raheem was that, for a young boy, he knew what he wanted to be," Rodgers told reporters. "When I ask young players what is it they want to achieve, he wanted to be one of the best players in the world - at that age (17). He's taken his game to a level where he's clearly one of the best players in the world." Sterling has continued to flourish under Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium, scoring 17 league goals in 32 league appearances this season.
