Raheem Sterling names the Chelsea star he is 'scared' of facing in the world cup.

 Raheem Sterling has already named the Chelsea star who 'did some stuffs' against him even while at Manchester City as one player he may not want to meet at the World Cup. 

Raheem Sterling will be looking out for  Mateo Kovacic during the World Cup. Earlier, the England star had named Mateo Kovacic as one player who was a nightmare for him even at Manchester City, and he looked forward to playing with him:

'Kovacic to be fair (is who I was most looking forward to linking up with at the club),' he told BT Sport. 'When we used to play him for City I used to think "Oh my good gosh" - I'm not going to lie. 

'Of course I always used to love to play with Mason (Mount) for England as well.

'Because he's just just a little busy one. He's just always getting on the ball. But yeah them two. 

'Kova(cic) for sure because there was a couple of times (when I was at City) when he was doing some serious stuff against us.'

And now, with the World cup games already here, there is a possibility that Raheem Sterling could face Kovacic as an opponent, something he definitely didn't see coming. Whether in the semis, or later parts of the competition, it's likely that the England international will face his long-time nightmare, though teammates at the same club. 

Meanwhile, England will kick off their first world cup game against Iran today and Sterling is one player, alongside Mason Mount who have been rumored to start today. Given his sloppy run of form for Chelsea, it will be interesting to watch his development during the World Cup.

Magical display and goal from Nicolas Jackson that shows he's Chelsea's next Didier Drogba.

Image
 Nicolas Jackson was on target for the Blues in their 4-1 trashing of Burnley yesterday.  Raheem Sterling takes the ball from midfield and turns around on his marker to leave him biting dust. Once in the final third he finds Cole Palmer in the box, who calmly lays it to Nicolas Jackson right in front of goal. The striker does very well in controlling the ball, adjusting his footing, and striking it for Chelsea’s fourth goal against Burnley. Comparisons have been made with Nicolas Jackson's stats for the Blues and that of Legend, Didier Drogba. Jackson's first goal for the club was a Drogba-esque one.  However, this performance and display from Jackson vs Burnley will convince you that he's just Chelsea's next hit striker after Didier Drogba: VIDEO: Chelsea may have just found their next Didier Drogba in Nicolas Jackson.

 Chelsea 'resume' negotiations for £55m Everton transfer after failed January move Chelsea transfer news: Everton's Amadou Onana was on the Blues' radar in January and his situation is reportedly being revisited. Chelsea have renewed their interest in Everton midfielder Amadou Onana, according to reports. The Blues were heavily linked with a move for the Belgian in January but a deal never came to fruition. Onana, who only signed for Everton last summer, was one of the Toffees' best players in the 2022/23 season and played a starring role in sustaining their Premier League status. After an impressive first half of the season in England, there was dialogue between Chelsea and the 21-year-old's entourage but he remained at Goodison Park and Enzo Fernandez was signed instead. Now, with Mauricio Pochettino seeking a new midfielder to bolster his squad ahead of next season, it has been reported that the Blues have revived their interest in the former Lille midfielder...
