There is no doubt that Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling has flipped the switch on his performances and output.
The formerly profligate winger is now one of the key goal scoring threats in a Manchester City team that could rival anyone in Europe.
When asked about his improved output, which has seen him score 31 goals in all competitions last season and 16 in 17 this term, Sterling put it down to maturity.
"One thing is age," he told reporters.
"I was 19 or 20 when I came to City and I was nowhere near the maturity level I am now [24].
"Another is being in a good team, and then the final thing is down to yourself, it's what you want to do in football.
"Do you want to be a winger who takes 10 people on and delivers nothing or do you want to be someone who helps win games for your team?
"I think all that comes with maturity. I keep learning each day to be better at it and to be involved in the game and be effective."
