Raheem Sterling’s future at Chelsea is uncertain with the summer transfer window around the corner and talkSPORT pundit Darren Bent believes the winger is no longer good enough to play for a “Top Six” team. 

The Englishman joined the Blues from Man City in 2022 as part of a £50m deal following a very successful spell at the Etihad Stadium – where he won four Premier League titles.

“He might be there for a while, but I still think there are a number of teams in the Premier League that would take him,” the former Premier League star said.

“He’s not going to go to Arsenal or Liverpool – he was there – he’s not going to City – he was there, I’m not even sure [Aston] Villa would take him.

“West Ham would take him I think, but then they’ve got [Mohammed] Kudus and [Jarrod] Bowen.

“So I’m looking, where does he start? What level…
