Sterling currently sits top of the goal-scoring chart at the club this term – alongside Kai Havertz, who has played seven more games than his teammate – but after the sky-high standards he set himself during his successful time at Man City, he won't be satisfied with how it's gone thus far. Thomas Tuchel made Sterling his attacking priority last summer as he looked to improve Chelsea's woes in front of goal.

The former Chelsea head coach and Sterling barely got any time to work with each other before the club decided to sack the German in September. Graham Potter was then appointed as Tuchel's successor and in his first match in charge (the 1-1 draw with RB Salzburg at Stamford Bridge), he used the England international as a left wing-back.
