Ex-Chelsea striker Cascarino tells Tuchel: Sterling an upgrade on Pulisic

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino would like to see them move for Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling.

Cascarino says Sterling would be an upgrade on Christian Pulisic.

He told talkSPORT: "I really thought that Pulisic would be a great player for Chelsea when they got him.

“I thought he'd really be a top player but it hasn't quite worked because of injury.

“One thing that Raheem has got is that he's very durable and, touch wood, he avoids injuries but he's a very durable player.

“You can switch him on the right as well so he's a little bit more versatile as a player.

"For (Thomas) Tuchel, I could see Chelsea attempting to get that type of wide man, absolutely.

“Why wouldn't you? His numbers, he creates and he just stretches teams.

“Pace always stretches teams and if you want to be countering, Raheem is good in counter-attacking teams because he's so devastating with his pace."
