Raheem Sterling hopes to win the Champions League with Chelsea and says his summer move to Stamford Bridge from Man City was necessary after the "massive surprise" of losing his starting role under Pep Guardiola.
The England international joined Chelsea in a deal worth £47.5million and brings a wealth of top-flight experience and trophy-winning know-how to Thomas Tuchel's squad. During Sterling's time with City, he claimed the Premier League on four occasions, the League Cup five times, and the FA Cup once.
Sterling was crucial to many of those successes; he was the most-used player during Guardiola's tenure, and only Sergio Aguero scored more goals than the 27-year-old. However, prior to his move to west London, Sterling had lost his place in the City side. And that was the driving factor behind his decision to leave the Etihad Stadium.
