Manager Manuel Pellegrini labelled Sterling one of the "best attacking players" in the game.
Raheem Sterling is one of the best attacking players in world football, and I am very much looking forward to him joining our squad out in Australia later this week.
He is a young player with outstanding ability, and I am sure the Manchester City fans will be very excited about seeing him in action for the team.
