Raheem Sterling loses English football player of the year award to teammate
Jamaican-born Raheem Sterling missed out on
being named English football player of the year, an award copped by his Manchester
City teammate Kevin De Bruyne.
Sterling and De Bruyne were the only two
non-Liverpool players on the shortlist which included Virgil Van Dijk, Sadio
Mane, Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
De Bruyne ended Liverpool’s back to back
hold on the Professional Footballers’ Association Award after wins by Van Dijk (2019)
and Mohamed Salah (2018).
He is also the first Manchester City player
to win the award after scoring 13 goals and setting a record-tying 20 assists
in the past season.
Liverpool were named English Premier
League champion after finishing 18 points ahead of Manchester City.
