Graham Potter sent subtle Raheem Sterling instruction despite £270m Chelsea spending spree

When Raheem Sterling switched Manchester City for Chelsea, there was a consensus that the England international would be one of the star players at Stamford Bridge. The forward completed his £47.5m move to Stamford Bridge in the summer after seven years at the Etihad Stadium.

Since his move to London, the 28-year-old has made 23 appearances with six goals scored. Sterling was a regular early in the campaign under Thomas Tuchel but has managed to score only the single Premier League goal under Graham Potter.

His presence in attack was absent throughout January after picking up a hamstring injury in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City. He did return in last weekend's stalemate with Fulham, providing a much welcomed boost to Potter's attacking ranks for the second half of the season.
