Sterling’s impressive form for club and country has put him on the radar of Europe’s top clubs - including Spanish giants Real Madrid - after establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s hottest properties. The pacy forward has got his best return in a season after scoring 20 goals and his stock has never been higher after his impressive improvement under boss Pep Guardiola.
