Ex-Germany coach Klinsmann full of praise for Man City midfielder Sterling

Former Germany coach Jurgen Klinsmann is full of praise for Manchester City midfielder Raheem Sterling.

Sterling scored in England's round of 16 Euros win against Germany.

Klinsmann was full of praise for the entire England team for their battling display that has earned them a quarter-final showdown with Ukraine in Rome on Saturday night, and paid particular attention to the skills of City forward Sterling for his work at both ends of the pitch.

"I'm a huge fan of Raheem Sterling," he said

"He takes people on, he's courageous and he helps out defensively too. He's very disciplined in his game, he's very mature for his game."
