Chelsea forward, Raheem Sterling has come out to explain why he joined Chelsea this summer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he had to move out of Manchester City simply because he was unwilling to accept not being a guaranteed starter at the club during his peak years as a footballer.
Sterling added that Chelsea has been in a couple of finals over the years, so they represent a good platform to play football.
His words, “I just felt my time at City was getting limited on playing time for different reasons. I couldn’t afford to waste more time. When I look back in the future, I didn’t want to see a rise and then a decline. A fresh challenge was to be made.”
“Since 17, I’ve been regularly starting. When getting to a peak time, not playing as regular, wasn’t something I would accept. I always try to fight and change the scenario. But it didn’t come and that was it.”
“With the options I had, it was one that tailor made for my personal goals, family it makes a lot of sense, and the direction the club is going in,”
“You look at Chelsea the past couple of years I think it’s four or five finals they’ve been in. It’s a team who shows they are competing and they’re only going to get better. With the new ownership it made a lot of sense.”
“My full journey going up to Liverpool manifesting what I wanted, then City living the dream, and coming back to London as a grown adult. I’ve got my head on my shoulders, I know exactly what I want from life and football. It’s a perfect time to have a new challenge.”
