The former Liverpool forward has been tipped for another move in the summer

Raheem Sterling’s agent Kelly Hogarth has dismissed reports that the England international could leave Chelsea.

The former Manchester City forward, who signed for the Blues last summer, has been linked with Arsenal. However, his agent has affirmed that a transfer move is unlikely in the summer.

"Sterling has expressed NO discontent with CFC, and having committed his long-term future to the new ownership this summer, there is to be no review of his position in the upcoming transfer window," Hogarth wrote on Twitter.

Sterling is in his first season with the Graham Potter-led side and is facing a difficult season with the London-based outfit, as he has managed just four goals and two assists in 18 appearances.

Following the arrival of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, and Noni Madueke, Sterling is facing stiff competition and is no longer a guaranteed starter.

Many players – including Mateo Kovacic, Christian Pulisic, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – have been tipped to leave the London club in the upcoming transfer window. However, going by Hogarth’s assurance, Sterling may not be one of those stars set to leave Chelsea.

After trophy-laden seasons at Manchester City, Sterling opted to sign for Chelsea, who are themselves struggling in the ongoing campaign.

The English star has been linked with Arsenal, and it is worth noting that he worked with the Gunners’ manager Mikel Arteta at the Etihad.

As speculation around the forwards’ future continues, Chelsea are preparing to face Leeds United on Saturday in a Premier League match.
