LONDON: England defender John Stones said he would love to see Raheem Sterling named player of the tournament, and believes his Manchester City teammate can make the difference against Italy.

Sterling has been one of England’s standout performers at the Euros despite having struggled to keep his place in City’s team this season, scoring three goals to help Gareth Southgate’s side progress to their first-ever European Championship final.
