Raheem Sterling is relishing his return to London after joining Chelsea and insists that living in the capital won't become a distraction: 'You score, pop round to mum's and have some Sunday dinner'

Raheem Sterling says he is looking forward ‘banging in the goals’ for Chelsea – and then nipping to his mum’s for Sunday lunch.

The London-raised £47.5m new boy, speaking from the club’s US tour, added that he was now mature enough to ensure the capital would not become a distraction and vowed to win trophies at Stamford Bridge following his switch from Manchester City.

‘Every time I get back to London it is a surreal feeling,’ the former Liverpool winger, 27, said. ‘When I first went up north I never really used to come down much - my family used to always come up so I could stay focused on work.
