Chelsea star Raheem Sterling has revealed that players have been left stunned by their poor form and results this season. The England international has found life at Stamford Bridge difficult in his debut season with the Blues after completing a £50million move from Manchester City last summer.
Sterling became the first signing of the Todd Boehly era back in July but has failed to emulate the form he showed at the Etihad Stadium for years that made him a regular in Manchester City's title-winning teams. The 28-year-old has scored just four goals in the Premier League in a rollercoaster season at Stamford Bridge.
13 players were signed after Sterling's arrival at Chelsea but they remain languishing down in the bottom half of the table and will finish the 2022/23 campaign without a trophy. The Blues are unlikely to secure European football for next season after suffering five straight defeats under caretaker manager Frank Lampard.
