Sterling wins ESPN FC annual accolade
Raheem Sterling has been named the Breakout Player of 2014 in ESPN FC's annual awards.
The 20-year-old was revealed as the European Golden Boy earlier this month in recognition of a thrilling calendar year for the Liverpool forward at all levels.
He was a key figure in the Reds' charge towards the Barclays Premier League title last season and, with six goals, is the team's current top scorer in this campaign.
Sterling was also widely considered one of England's most impressive performers in an otherwise frustrating World Cup campaign in Brazil during the summer.
Further acknowledgement has now arrived with this accolade, which was voted for by football followers on the ESPN FC website.
Liverpool's No.31 saw off competition from Memphis Depay, Adnan Januzaj, Harry Kane and Koke to receive the most votes from fans in an online poll.
