Chelsea’s new signing Raheem Sterling will be a huge asset for for the London club and the England forward will assist with shaping the team, Thomas Tuchel said.
Sterling joined Chelsea on a five-year contract from Premier League champions Manchester City on Wednesday in a deal reported to be worth as much as 50 million pounds.
The 27-year-old is Chelsea’s first signing under the new ownership led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, who took over from Russian Roman Abramovich toward the end of May.
“He will be a huge asset for us,” Tuchel told the BBC on Thursday. “Hopefully he shapes our team by just being who he is.
“For me, he is a huge player, with a huge influence in the last years in English football and he’s in a perfect age to now take responsibility around young players that we have and be an example.”
Chelsea, who completed third last season, start the new season with an outing to Everton on August 6.
