I can pay with Sterling on continent

Shayden to shine for Dons in Europe after watching vids of peak Raheem

- BY SCOTT BURNS

SHAYDEN MORRIS has been studying footage of Raheem Sterling in his prime in a bid to shine for Aberdeen on the continent.

The winger was one of the Dons' main players last term, helping them to Scottish Cup glory after being named their player of the year.

That followed the 23-year-old Englishman working hard on the defensive side of his game under Jimmy Thelin.

But Morris has also taken steps to add more creativity and finishing touches by watching England winger Sterling at the top of his game at Manchester City for tips.

A Europa League assault looms for Dons while Sterling and his Chelsea team-mates are Champions League bound.

Londoner Morris said: "I still watch old Raheem Sterling clips from the Man City days to study his movement.

"I want to improve on that so, even before games, sometimes I'll study him.
