Fans told imminent arrival ‘will be perfect signing’ for Chelsea
If Chelsea were to sign Raheem Sterling this summer, according to Tony Cascarino, the attacker would be the “ideal” addition to the team.
One of the top players in the English game, Sterling has won several awards throughout his time with Man City. He has scored 131 goals for the Premier League Champions.
Sterling is one of the players that Pep Guardiola is willing to let go this summer as he wants to change things up for the upcoming season.
And in the midst of all the rumors that Chelsea is close to making a move for the Englishman, Cascarino has spoken out, telling the board and the supporters that he would be the ideal acquisition for the team.
Speaking on the Weekend Breakfast, Cascarino said: “I think they’ll do at least two big signings before the start of the season.
“I think that Raheem is perfect for Chelsea, I think that they need that kind of player.
“I love Raheem’s pace. There are so few players who can get to the byline as a wide player. Timo Werner is a terrible finisher, now some people say that Sterling’s finishing is not the greatest but he always gets chances and he always gets a decent number at the end of a season.
“I’m a bit disappointed because I thought that [Christian] Pulisic would be a really good player for Chelsea.
“He’s had too many injuries and has never quite got going. He has his moments but like a lot of the forwards at Chelsea, they’ve not really delivered in the numbers that you’d expect.
“You can put Lukaku in there, Timo Werner, I think that Havertz is not really a centre forward but has been playing that role.
“He’s improving as a player but he’s not the finished article who is going to be leading the line at Chelsea all season.”
