Sterling: My Chelsea dream hasn't transpired

Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling insists he is willing to play anywhere to help the team.

Sterling has found himself at wing-back at times this season.

He told The Sun: “I haven't complained about not playing in my position. I have come here with the intention of trying to do my part as best I can.

“From when the owners took over things have moved pretty fast. There have been a few turnovers in terms of coaches, people higher up than coaches have changed as well, it has been a process, a learning curve for everyone.

“And as a football club we are trying to get it right and we will get it right. It will take time but that doesn't mean we accept it.

“We are much bigger than this and we have to get the next couple of months right and get back to the level we should be at.

“Initially coming here was a dream come true. That hasn't transpired but again it's still an energy, something inside me is still raring to go, knowing that there will be a turn for the better.

“The more things are put into place the better it will get so I haven't given up on the vision that the owners gave me at the start. I know it will turn."
