Paul Dickov believes Raheem Sterling has outperformed fellow Premier League forwards Eden Hazard and Mohamed Salah this season.
The former Manchester City striker joined the Sports Breakfast on Tuesday morning, as Alan Brazil and Dean Saunders debated who is the best player in the Premier League.
A wonderful display from Hazard during Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over West Ham on Monday night, featuring an incredible solo effort, has seen Jamie Carragher describe the Belgian as England’s best.
Meanwhile, only Sergio Aguero has more goals than Salah’s 18 in the top-flight this term.
