Former Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given believes the club should not sell Raheem Sterling to Chelsea.

The Blues are set to secure the England international from the Premier League champions this summer.

Sterling is out of favor with manager Pep Guardiola, while he only has a year remaining on his contract.

Chelsea are also set to secure Raphinha from Leeds United this summer.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Given said: "[Sterling's] a top player, but for whatever reason in the last 12 or 18 months him and Pep, have not fallen out, but he's just not started every game.

"Sterling is a player that strikes me that would not be happy coming off the bench and be a bit part player in the last six or seven months."
