Raheem Sterling says he is delighted to be playing alongside world-class players at Manchester City, especially striker Sergio Aguero.
Sterling, 21, joined City in the summer for £49 million from Liverpool and insists that he is learning every day from his teammates.
“Sergio is a world class player — he’s the sort of player you watch before you join the club and it’s just a great feeling to play alongside someone like that and learn a lot from him,” Sterling told the club website.
“Not just Sergio but David [Silva], Kevin [De Bruyne] and Yaya [Toure]. There are a lot of players you can definitely learn off and help my sort of game. It’s an honour to be training with them every day and learning from them.
“You can look around the dressing room and see players that have achieved in major tournaments. David who has won the World Cup, Sergio who has played in a World Cup Final and Yaya who has won African Player of the Year for a number of years.
“They’re all players who can grab a team by the hand and win games for your football club.
“There are leaders in every position — a lot of players to look to who have had a really good career so I’m just happy to be amongst them and learning every day.”
City take on Sunderland on Saturday six points off Leicester and four points behind Arsenal in second, but manager Manuel Pellegrini insists he is calm over Manchester City’s Premier League title prospects.
