Trevoh Chalobah has claimed that Raheem Sterling is the best at nutmegs in the current Chelsea squad.

Chelsea fans have only seen in glimpses the best version of Raheem Sterling, who moved to Stamford Bridge from Manchester City last summer.

The 28-year-old attacker has all the tricks in the book and has been extremely consistent over so many years in the Premier League, impressing in both Man City and Liverpool colours.

Despite not having the best individual season, his technique has impressed 23-year-old Blues centre-back Trevoh Chalobah.

When asked who’s the king of nutmegs at Chelsea, Chalobah told Three UK’s YouTube channel: “Raheem Sterling. He looks for it every time.”

Sterling has explained in an interview this week that he’s not been anywhere near his best during his first season at Chelsea.

The speedster has had a string of injuries throughout the campaign disrupt his flow, which is why supporters haven’t seen him at his peak since his very strong start last August.

However, he’s still an individual that should be in his prime right now.

We’re not convinced Chelsea fans will care about their most skilful players when the team continues to record dire performances and results on the pitch.

Let’s be positive and try remember there’s a lot of talent in this group.

It’s a hard watch seeing the team on a five-game losing streak, so our wish to Frank Lampard is to let some of our expressive players do their thing in the final six games of the season.

We know the likes of Sterling, Noni Madueke and Mykhailo are skilful wide players that love to dribble at opponents. We want to see much more of that in these dull times.
