Interestingly, Callum Hudson-Odoi also hailed Sterling when taking part in a similar challenge 🅺last year.
Sterling has been criticised for his performances this season, but he remains a Premie൲r League legend after his exploits with Manchester City and Liverpool.
Sterling has only scoredඣ one goal since joining Arsenal on loan from Chelsea, but his peers clearly rate him very highly.
Sterling stats compared to Alexis Sanchez
It may sound preposterous to say that Sterling is better than Sanchez after watching him thisღ season, but, let’s not forget, this is a Premier League great we’re talki༒ng about here.
Sterling’s stats in the Premier League are stellar – he’s a member of the coveted 100 club, but, interestingly, Sanch♈ez does have a better goals to game ratio.
Although, Sterling ꦅdoes have more silverware to his na⛄me.
Alexis Sanchez Premier League stats | Raheem Sterling Premier League stats | |
Games | 154 | 387 |
Goals | 63 | 123 |
Assists | 31 | 64 |
Titles | 0 | 4 |
Goals per game | 0.4 | 0.31 |
Yes, Sterli꧟ng has declined since his move to Chelsea and his subsequent switch to Arsenal, but the exact same thing happened with Sanchez when he left Arsenal to join Manchester United back in 2018.
As for which player is better, that is up for debate. Sterling was more successful in terms of winning trophies, but Sanchez had the ability to put an entire team on his back at Ars𒊎enal, a skill that Sterling has never really h🌞ad at any of his clubs.
Kluivert prefers St🍌erling as a player, but it’s not difficult to make a counter-argument that Sanchez ꦏwas the better footballer.
