Captain Vincent Kompany has hailed the signing of
Raheem Sterling as “massive” for Manchester City as
the club chases more trophies, saying his
fearlessness sets him aside from his peers.
The 20-year-old Sterling became the most
expensive English footballer in history earlier this
week when he signed from Liverpool on a five-year
contract worth an initial £44 million that could rise to
£49 million ($76 million, 68 million euro).
He almost immediately got on a plane to hook up
with his new team-mates in Australia, where City
play a friendly on the Gold Coast on Saturday ahead
of matches against Real Madrid and AS Roma in
Melbourne.
“It’s massive for us — the biggest thing is that
you’ve seen Sterling, especially the way he played
the season before last, and he was one of the main
reasons, along with (Luis) Suarez, that Liverpool
played so well,” Kompany said on the club website.
