Why is Raheem Sterling nominated in 2019?

Sterling has enjoyed incredible success on both a team and personal level in 2019 with Manchester City and England.

He was a key cog in guiding City to the domestic treble – Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup – and was in turn named the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year.

The 25-year-old racked up 25 goals and 18 assists in all competitions last season – comfortably his best season in terms of sheer output.

After struggling at the start of his England career, he stepped up to play a strong part in England's Euro 2020 qualifying campaign with eight goals and seven assists.

Away from the field, Sterling has been widely praised for his public fight to kick racism out of football.
