revived his happiness for football.

In July, Sterling left City for £47.5m and joined Stamford Bridge. During his 7-year stay at Etihad Stadium, he scored 131 goals in 339 games for this team and won 4 Premier League, 4 League Cup, and one FA Cup championship. In his final year at City, he played 30 games for his team, only 23 of which were in the starting line-up, so he decided to join another team.

He said:

"Everyone wants to feel wanted, football is no different.

"When you play your heart out, sacrifice some of your kids' birthdays, and then get treated in a certain way, it's disappointing.

"At the time I was fuming, raging, but it's gone, it's in the past and I can only focus on the present, which is now, here at Chelsea, and the opportunity I've got here to go out and showcase my talents once again."

The England international added: 

"A lot of things came into play, a lot of reasons, but I wasn't complaining, I was ready to challenge and, as you can see, even with some of the performances I put in, you couldn't guarantee yourself a place so it just didn't make sense to fight a battle you can never win."
