Raheem Sterling has said that being targeted with racial abuse at Stamford Bridge in December 2018 did not make him think twice before joining Chelsea from Manchester City this summer.
One Chelsea fan received a lifetime ban and five were temporarily suspended from attending games after the incident, but it did not cross Sterling’s mind when he was looking for his next challenge after deciding to leave City. “It wasn’t something that played on my mind at all,” the 27-year-old said. “I can’t let an incident from individuals change my perception of the club.”
