Can Raheem Sterling justify £49m price tag?

Manchester City are about to find out whether Raheem Sterling has the ability to justify his enormous price tag or is just another over-rated young English footballer motivated purely by his bank balance.

City will invest £49 million (€69m) on the fleet-footed and tricky forward in the hope he can provide the sparkle to bring the Premier League trophy back to the Etihad Stadium.

Sterling will become the most expensive English player ever when he completes his move from Liverpool, the club where he made his name before controversially rejecting a new contract.
