Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has defended the club's decision to sell key trio Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko this summer. The three players made their way to London during the window, joining a number of high-profile exits from the Etihad over the break.
Whilst it's early days, there has already been some exciting flashes of what could come from the recruits at their new clubs. Sterling made his return to London with Chelsea - where he grew up as a boy before moving at a young age to pursue his footballing career.
The England international has one assist in his opening three Premier League fixtures for the Blues, though he is yet to hit top gear at the club along with the rest of Thomas Tuchel's men. With the German coach still set to make some additions to the squad, time may be needed before he can fire at the same rate he did with City.
