The former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher would have played with the 26 year old winger Raheem Sterling in his time at Liverpool for a spell and can’t believe how underrated the London born attacker is:
“I can’t believe I have read some reports suggesting he could be a makeweight in a deal to take Kane to City,” Carragher wrote in The Telegraph.
“With respect, do people think Sterling is at a point in his career where he would join Spurs? Are they serious? If he was available, top Champions League clubs would be queuing up for him.”
“The most underrated England player of this era”
“There appears to be an undercurrent of cynicism about how good Sterling actually is, the under-par performances pounced upon as evidence he is not quite at the level of the world’s best, and the high-class performances ignored because they inconveniently undermine the argument he is one of the two best English footballers of this generation.
“When it comes to being the most underrated England player of this era, Sterling is out on his own.
“Sterling’s contribution (at Euro 2020) so far has not vindicated Southgate for picking him. They have exposed the folly of anyone who questioned his selection in the first place.
“There were plenty of decent performers in a white shirt on Tuesday night, but – on the basis of the first three games – the quest to be England’s player of the tournament is a one-horse race.”
