Raheem Sterling compares Man City teammate to Luis Suarez…and it’s not Aguero or Silva

"Is he like Suarez? Most definitely"

Luis Suarez’s 2013/14 season is about as good a campaign that’s ever been turned in by a Premier League player.

The Uruguayan scored 31 goals for Liverpool in the league as the Reds just missed out on their first top flight title since 1990.

Raheem Sterling played his part in that season, linking up well with Suarez and Daniel Sturridge throughout.

And Sterling, who has since moved to Manchester City, has claimed that one new teammate in particular reminds him of Suarez.

“Kevin de Bruyne is a top player,” Sterling said, via Reuters.

“He’s someone that gets in and around the box and creates and scores goals. That’s great for us to have, every team needs a player like that.

“Is he like Suarez? Yes, most definitely. Every top team needs a player who scores and assists goals so regularly like Kevin does. It’s most important. That’s what big players do and we’re happy to have him at this football club.

“With Suarez, you knew once he got in and around the box, you knew what he was capable of doing, usually it ended with a goal.

“It’s the same with Kevin, he looks for other players. Look at the assists he’s got already and he’s got goals in him regularly as well.”
