“It’s a backward step” – Jamie O’Hara sends warning to Chelsea target against making Stamford Bridge move
Jamie O’Hara has warned Raheem Sterling not to join Chelsea this summer.
Manchester City striker Raheem Sterling has surfaced as a suprise transfer target for the Blues, but O’Hara believes it will be a step back for Sterling.
The 35-year-old was speaking on talkSPORT when he weighed in on the move’s logic and expressed his belief that the Blues have too many similar players.
“Is he going [Chelsea] to get more game time?”
“The Chelsea squad, they’ve got a top front three. Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, and Christian Pulisic. Timo Werner is a very good player. His finishing is not great, but he’s quite similar to what Sterling is. Does he play week in week out?
“If he goes to Chelsea, it’s a backwards step in terms of his chances of winning trophies, but you’re going to get the same game time.”
Raheem Sterling has one year left on his Manchester City contract and has been linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium.
🤨 “I don’t understand Sterling to #CFC, unless he’s had another fall out with Pep?”
