Rio Ferdinand sets Raheem Sterling challenge and makes clear Thomas Tuchel Chelsea claim

Rio Ferdinand has said that Raheem Sterling must become more efficient if he is to succeed at Chelsea this season, with less chances coming his way than at Manchester City.

Sterling scored 131 goals in 339 games during his time in Manchester, but will face a new challenge in a different system under Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea. However, Ferdinand says that he is looking forward to the former Liverpool star doing well during his time in London - it will be the first time that he has played professionally for a club in the city of his birth.

Ferdinand was speaking on his Vibe with Five YouTube show when he made the comments, saying: "He’s going to have to be more efficient this year if he’s going to put the same numbers up because he’s not going to have as many chances. I’m looking forward to seeing him do well."
