“Everyone is gone on International Duty, and that’s why I feel this is the right time to come out to the media to tell the world why Garath Southgate don’t want me in his England squad”- Chelsea Star Raheem Sterling speaks out about why he lost his starting spot to Phil Foden

 

Following his terrible FA Cup experience on Sunday, Raheem Sterling’s position on perhaps leaving Chelsea during the summer transfer window has been made public.

Sterling paid £47.5 million to move from Manchester City to Chelsea less than two years ago, and it has been speculated that he may already be planning to leave.

Clubs in the Saudi Pro League are interested in Sterling, but The Independent claims that he is prepared to turn down any approaches from them since he is adamant on winning over Chelsea supporters and has no intention of leaving Chelsea.

Despite his terrible weekend, Sterling is said to be eager for the West Londoners to take home significant awards and is content with the club.

Reports state that he has “privately acknowledged” that his performance against Leicester was subpar.

To date, Sterling has made 74 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 17 goals and dishing out 14 assists.

After Chelsea’s victory over Leicester, he apologised to all Chelsea supporters for the missed penalty.

“I’ll be back ten times stronger to support the team and never give up on the badge,” the player said. Come on, Blues.
