When Chelsea completed the signing of Raheem Sterling in July, there was genuine excitement amongst the club's supporters.
The Blues had just brought in a serial winner, who played a huge part in Manchester City's recent domination of English football. In truth, when reflecting on his start at Chelsea, it couldn't have gone too much better in the circumstances.
Sterling has scored four times while providing one assist in eight matches for Chelsea in all competitions this season. The 27-year-old is the club's top scorer in what has been a turbulent start to the season.
