Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling has been named as the Premier League Player of the Month for August.

Sterling endured a disappointing Euro 2016 with England but he has returned to form under new City boss Pep Guardiola.

After contributing to City's victories over both Sunderland and Stoke City, the 21-year-old scored twice as the North-West outfit beat West Ham United before the international break.

Sterling has made a total of 51 appearances in all competitions since leaving Liverpool for City last summer.
