Raheem Sterling: Liverpool winger 'is most valuable young player'

Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling is the most valuable young player in Europe, a new study claims.

 

Sterling, the subject of a failed £40m bid from Manchester City, has been given a weighted value of £35m by the Soccerex 20 Football Value Index.
Manchester United full-back Luke Shaw is ranked ninth, Everton's John Stones 16th and Arsenal's Calum Chambers 19th.
The study analyses players of all nationalities aged under 21 and playing in Europe.
It determines their value based on their age, position, club, contract length, market value perception, international caps, minutes played, goals, injuries and technical quality.
"Combining all the factors, we came up with Sterling as the most valuable," the study's author Esteve Calzada said.
