Raheem Sterling's transfer hint as Chelsea chase Man City star ahead of Arsenal

Chelsea have been linked with a host of players ahead of the transfer window opening. One of which is England star, Raheem Sterling, with the 27-year-old's current contract expiring next summer.

The winger enjoyed another impressive season at Manchester City as they claimed his fourth Premier League title in five seasons. The England winger scored 17 goals and notched a further nine assists in 47 appearances across all competitions to help Pep Guardiola’s side finish a point clear of runners-up Liverpool.

However, Sterling has become something of a peripheral figure at City over the last couple of seasons, with Guardiola often choosing not to start him in their most significant of matches. The fact that he was left on the bench for both legs of their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid indicates he’s seen as more of a squad player at the Etihad Stadium.
