Raheem Sterling has been an influential player throughout the 2023-2024 season for Chelsea, showcasing a strong capacity for chance creation, goal efficiency, and goal threat. He tends to excel in one-on-one defending situations, and when carrying the ball progressively up the field, Sterling's speed and technical ability stand out. However, his performance in ball recovery and retention, as well as his progressive passing, are distinctly average compared to other players in the Premier League. Sterling's in-penalty area defending is noticeably weak, but it has minimal impact on his overall performance because of his primary role as a winger. His aerial duels also leave something to be desired, which may dictate his approach to certain offensive situations. Although Sterling's pass accuracy isn't as high as one might expect for an elite player, he more than makes up for it in his assists ratio and expected assist (xA) score, suggesting that he contributes significantly to the team’s offensive strategies.
