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.

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