'They've lost a lot of players and they've got to do a lot of rebuilding': Raheem Sterling is urged not to swap Manchester City for Chelsea by former England winger Trevor Sinclair - because the Blues will NOT be competing for the Premier League title

Former England international Trevor Sinclair has urged Raheem Sterling to stay at Manchester City amid interest over a transfer from Chelsea.

Sterling has been linked with a switch to the Blues this summer with Romelu Lukaku expected to leave Stamford Bridge and return to Inter Milan on loan for the season.

But the City winger has been encouraged to stay at the Premier League champions on the basis that Thomas Tuchel's side will not be competing for the title next year.
