"As good as Sterling is, if they want to be competitive with the very best, they have to score 80 or 90 goals or more. He has scored 68 goals since February 2018 in the league, the fifth best of any player during that time frame. Aubameyang may now be five years older, but Tuchel has gambled that the scoring touch is still there; his stats at Barca indicate it absolutely is. Those five strikers cost Chelsea more than £200m in combined transfer and loan fees. For all the hundreds of millions of pounds spent by Chelsea in the summer, goals remain an issue.

Early season defeats by Leeds and Southampton - the latter in which they played Sterling and Kai Havertz as a front two - have exacerbated this problem. They don't have at the moment. In the Premier League he struck at a rate of better than one goal every two games. However, amid the La Liga club's well-documented financial struggles, they have been forced to sell in order to register all of their summer signings.
