Chelsea have made five significant additions to their squad during the ongoing summer transfer window. Among their major signings is Sterling, who has joined them from Manchester City for £47.5 million. The Blues have acquired the 27-year-old's services to strengthen their attack for the 2022-23 season. They are expected to make him their main man up front after allowing Romelu Lukaku (loan) and Timo Werner to leave. Cole, who shared the dressing room with Sterling during the 2012-13 season at Liverpool, believes the forward is a coup for the Stamford Bridge outfit. He hailed the England international as one of the best in the world and a non-vocal leader. The former Blues attacker backed Sterling to add goals, assists and leadership to Thomas Tuchel's team. However, he stressed the need for the German tactician to make the forward the main man at the club. Cole told the Evening Standard: "I played with Raheem at Liverpool. He is a great lad, really mature already as a young person, but he has grown into a fantastic player. He is a world class footballer. He is a quiet leader." "That leadership weight of responsibility won’t be too heavy for him to be the leader. I think what’s important at Chelsea for Tuchel is that he is the main man." "The players at Chelsea need to bring that togetherness to make them what they are. Raheem comes in and will offer goals, assists and leadership.
