Thomas Tuchel has Chelsea’s own Raheem Sterling but £58m tactical tweak is required first

The development of wide players becoming more prolific goalscorers in the Premier League certainly has taken centre stage with Liverpool and Manchester City's success since 2015.

Several wingers are proving to be reliable goalscorers rather than mere providers for more traditional centre-forwards.

The use of Roberto Firmino taking up a more selfless role in order to facilitate the space necessary for both Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane is probably the most obvious example.

But at The Etihad, the output from Raheem Sterling has been equally astonishing under Pep Guardiola. 123 goals in 320 appearances for the Citizens since his 2015 signing reflects his brilliance.

The brilliance of Sterling's finishing is the simplicity of them.

Under Guardiola, it is a common sight that the English winger is perfectly placed to round off a flowing passing move, comfortably tapping the ball into the net from close range.

Part of that is down to the fluidity and effectiveness of Guardiola's system but also down to the intelligent movement and anticipation of Sterling. Something which the winger showed for England last summer.

Chelsea has been desperately trying to recreate the productivity of their rivals, ploughing tons into attacking signings since 2019, which still has not found the solution.

The first signing in that spend which has toppled £300m, was Christian Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund for £58m.

Pulisic's injury issues since his arrival have been well documented, which has halted promising spells.

But one of the American's strongest attributes has been his sense of anticipation inside the six-yard box and finishing chances.

Just breaking down the numbers of Pulisic whilst actually on the pitch, his strongest trait comes to light.
