Trevor Sinclair has urged Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel to make Raheem Sterling the new club captain for the upcoming campaign. The 27-year-old winger arrived at Stamford Bridge earlier this summer having made the switch from Manchester City.
Sterling brings with him a wealth of experience, including 320 Premier League appearances as well as four league championships. Sterling has captained England on a number of occasions.
With current club captain Cesar Azpilicueta reportedly on his way out, Sinclair believes the Blues' new forward should be gifted the honor next. The former West Ham winger told TalkSPORT :
“If you look at it, he’s vice-captain of England and the only person who you can say has more experience than him, is Thiago Silva, and he’s getting on. You can’t build your team around someone who might be leaving at the end of the season."
“Everyone looks up to him. You hear young players all the time talking about how Raheem Sterling did this and how he helped them with that. I think he could go in and be a great captain for Chelsea. He could lead that team to something very special.”
