Check Out The Last Man Standing In Guardiola's Top Goal Contributors As Sterling Nears Chelsea Move.
After 7 trophy-laden years at Manchester City which saw him win 4 English Premier League titles, 5 Carabao Cups and 1 FA Cup, Raheem Sterling is finally set to move on this summer. The Englishman made the step up from Liverpool's youth ranks and established himself as one of the brightest talents in the EPL before joining Man City in a £49m deal back in 2015. The England international went on to score 131 goals and provide 95 assists in 339 matches across all competitions for the Citizens, averaging a goal or assist every 111 minutes. Sterling is now close to sealing a permanent transfer to Stamford Bridge, with recent reports stating that the 27-year old has already held discussions with Thomas Tuchel and also reached an agreement on personal terms with Chelsea. The Blues are expected to strike a deal with City who are open to selling one of Pep Guardiola's top goal contributors. Sterling ranks first on the list of Man City players with most direct involvements in goals under Guardiola. Second on the chart is Kevin de Bruyne with 175 goal contributions while Sergio Aguero (151) and Gabriel Jesus (136) both sit third and fourth - source (90min). Out of all these players, de Bruyne will be the only person remaining at the Etihad once Sterling's transfer to Chelsea is finalized. But good thing is de Bruyne will have the chance of overtaking Sterling on the above-mentioned list if he can deliver good number of goals and assists from next season. With Raheem set to be one of Chelsea's best paid players when he joins them, do you think he can justify his price tag believed to be in the region of £45 million?
