You heard it here first — five worth watching

Raheem Sterling (Liverpool, 17)

At Anfield, they’ve had to get grimly accustomed to long waits. This season, though, it seems at least one of them may finally come to an end. If this isn’t exactly going to be Liverpool’s year, then it may well be Raheem Sterling’s.

Indeed, there has been excited expectation about the winger for so long that it’s easy to forget just how young he is. At only 17, you can understand why he had Kenny Dalglish so eager to keep him under wraps and Brendan Rodgers talking of first sending him out on loan.
