Chelsea’s target, Raheem Sterling, has been tagged as a player that is not a world-class.
Former Crystal Palace chairman, Simon Jordan, gave the warning in the middle of his rumored link to the Blues.
According to reports, Sterling might leave Manchester City this summer and Chelsea are among the teams linked with him, as seen in the Chelsea Chronicle.
However, Jordan gave his opinion that the England international’s potential departure would not affect Pep Guardiola’s side next season.
“I don’t think he’s a world-class player. I think he’s a very good player, otherwise, he wouldn’t play for his country,” Jordan told talkSPORT.
“I think he’s a good player. I don’t think he’s anywhere near as good as people somehow advance him to be.
“He’s a good player, but I don’t think him leaving would derail Man City.”
Sterling joined Manchester City from Liverpool in 2015 in a deal worth £57.3 million.
