The England international joined Chelsea in a £47.5 million deal from Manchester City but has endured a difficult first season at Stamford Bridge.
Sterling has faced
criticism for his performances while he was booed by Chelsea supporters during
the 3-1 victory away to Bournemouth last weekend.
Chelsea need to trim their
squad this summer in order to meet Financial Fair Play Regulations and Sterling
has been among the players linked with a move away in the upcoming transfer
window.
But according to talkSPORT, Sterling wants to be part of Chelsea’s
rebuild and has no plans to leave the club after just one campaign.
The report also claims that
Sterling is ‘excited’ by the prospect of working under Mauricio Pochettino at
Chelsea.
The club are expected to appoint Pochettino as their next
permanent manager once Frank Lampard’s reign as caretaker manager
ends.
Lampard, meanwhile, also insists
Sterling’s poor form this season is only ‘temporary’.
When asked about the boos for
Sterling and Hakim Ziyech after the win over Bournemouth last Saturday, Lampard
said: ‘Opinion can always change in a period but they [Sterling and Ziyech] are
two players that want to do well and have big talent, both of them.
