Raheem Sterling: Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is 'confident' he can get the best out of forward

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is confident he can get the best out of Raheem Sterling after the forward's difficult first campaign at the club.

It was a turbulent season at Chelsea as Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter were sacked before interim boss Frank Lampard led them 12th - their lowest league finish for more than 25 years.

Sterling scored just six league goals after a £50m move from Manchester City.

"I think he's an important player for us. He's in our plan," Pochettino said.

"He can provide to the team many different things. We are confident that we can get the best from him to help the team to achieve what we want.
