Sterling gunning for more

After surpassing Romelu Lukaku to enter the top 20, Sterling continues his ascent up the Premier League goalscoring ranks and sets his sights on overtaking other renowned strikers from past eras.

With Brighton & Hove Albion and Bournemouth as upcoming opponents, Sterling could have the opportunity to match or surpass the likes of Dwight Yorke, Nicolas Anelka, Robbie Keane, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on the top scorers’ chart.
