The former Tottenham Hotspur and England international striker was impressed by Sterling’s performance for the Three Lions against Germany on Tuesday evening.
Sterling scored the opening goal for England in their 2-0 win against Germany at Wembley Stadium in the Euro 2020 Round of 16 tie.
It was the former Liverpool star’s third goal of the competition for England, who have booked their place in the quarter-finals of the European Championship.
Another goal for @sterling7. Hes been @Englands best player by far.
