Feyenoord sit 17 points behind league leaders PSV, but van Persie believes Sterling can help close the gap and push for Champions League qualification. The former Dutch international said: “Naturally, it’s a fantastic feat that we’ve managed to convince a player of Raheem’s calibre to sign with us. His football resume speaks for itself: he’s a player whose qualities can change the outcome of a game without a doubt, and I am convinced he will turn out to be a valuable addition to the team as we work towards achieving our goals in the second half of this season.”
