Sterling hailed as 30-goal forward by Wright-Phillips and ‘a boss’ for handling of racist abuse

The former Manchester City winger has saluted a current star occupying that post, while claiming the Blues now strike “fear” into opponents

Raheem Sterling is capable of hitting 30 goals for Manchester City this season, says Shaun Wright-Phillips, while the England international has been praised for his handling of racist abuse.

The 24-year-old has burst out of the blocks in 2019-20, finding the target five times in three appearances – including a hat-trick in an opening day win over West Ham.

A new personal best 25 efforts were recorded last season, to sit alongside the assists he provides, and the intention is to raise that bar even further.
