Lukaku is pushing his way out back to Inter Milan after a disappointing season. Timo Werner hasn&#8217;t quite lived up to expectations. The futures of Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech aren&#8217;t completely certain. It remains to be seen what happens, but for these reasons, Chelsea may pursue Sterling.<\/p>\n<p>Besides being extremely experienced in the Premier League for City and Tottenham, Sterling is only 27 years old. He&#8217;s in the midst of his prime years now.<\/p>\n<p>Sterling scored 13 goals and provided six assists in 30 Premier League appearances for City last season. This, of course, comes on a very crowded attacking line. The season prior, 2020\/21, saw Sterling score 10 goals and provided eight assists.<\/p>\n<p>His best stretch for City came from 2017\/18 to 2019\/20. Sterling made 100 Premier League appearances and racked up 55 goals and 30 assists.<\/p>\n<p>Sterling&#8217;s shown to be a game-changer both on the pitch and around a club. A move to Chelsea would not only improve the product on the pitch but give the club added leadership as they move forward into another chapter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea are interested in English and Manchester City star Raheem Sterling, according to Fabrizio Romano.
