‘I can’t waste time’ – Raheem Sterling says Chelsea transfer from Man City down to game time as he reaches his peak
Raheem Sterling admits he did not want to “waste time” at Manchester City and says his move to Chelsea was down to getting more game time at the “peak” of his career. The 27-year-old swapped City for Chelsea this summer, moving to Stamford Bridge in a £47.5m transfer. Ad After a 10-year spell up north with Liverpool (from 2012 to 2015) and then City, Sterling says returning to London — where he moved to from Jamaica aged five — feels like «coming home», while he puts the move down to the desire for a “fresh challenge” as well as the belief he will play more at Chelsea.
