Sterling has been backed to win PFA Player of the Year

Nonetheless, Dickov believes Sterling has been the standout forward this season.Eden Hazard, in the form that he was in last night, hes unplayable. I think hes one of the best players in the world, the former striker told talkSPORT.To try and pick between Hazard, Sterling, Salah and Aguero is too diffiuclt because theyre completely different players.
