After swapping the blue side of Manchester for the blue half of London, Sterling was full of optimism ahead of the new campaign as a Chelsea player.

"First and foremost, it’s a pleasure to be here," he told the club's official website.

"I’ve obviously achieved a lot in my career so far, but there is still so much more to achieve and I’m really looking forward to doing that in a Chelsea shirt, under Thomas’s management."

Sterling continued: "London is my home and where it all started for me, and it’s amazing I now have the opportunity to play in front of friends and family week in, week out at Stamford Bridge. I’m really looking forward to meeting the fans there soon."
