Redknapp: Raheem is England's best
Raheem Sterling excelled once again for England in their Euro 2016 qualifying victory over Switzerland on Monday night – and afterwards, former Liverpool midfielder and media pundit Jamie Redknapp was effusive in his praise for the forward.
The 19-year-old played a key role in both goals as a double from Danny Welbeck secured a crucial 2-0 win at St Jakob-Park.
It followed on from an impressive display for the Three Lions against Norway last week - and writing in his column in the Daily Mail, Redknapp said of Sterling: "He is such a weapon for England and Liverpool. He is now our best player - aged 19 - and defenders are frightened of him.
"The pass he delivered for the goal was with his left foot and I can't see a weakness in his game. Credit to Brendan Rodgers for developing him and he will get better.
"England have to play him through the middle. That's where the best players play. Get him on the ball and facing up to defenders.
"He will win free-kicks and penalties and he will score goals."
