Simon Jordan told talkSPORT (23/06/21 at 11:15 am) that reported Tottenham target, Raheem Sterling, isn’t world-class.
The former Crystal Palace owner also claimed that he doesn’t think Sterling would want to join Tottenham.
The England international has been mentioned as part of a potential swap deal involving Tottenham striker, Harry Kane, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
But Jordan doesn’t think Sterling wants to be seen as a ‘bit-part’ player and shares that it says a lot about what Man City now think of him.
“No, I am not having that (Sterling being world-class),” said Jordan. “But what I having is Trevor’s (Sinclair) analysis that Raheem Sterling would go to Tottenham Hotspur.
“I don’t think that Raheem Sterling would want to be seen as a bit-part player in any transaction.
“The most concerning thing for him, irrespective of whether he would go there or not, is the fact that Man City would be prepared to trade him.
“It tells you that Man City don’t hold him in the high-regard that Trevor would think they should.”
Whilst there seems to be some uncertainty with Sterling on the domestic circuit, it’s a different story on the international stage.
After he was doubted prior to Euro 2020, he has scored England’s only goals of the tournament, who are now preparing for the test of the German’s next Tuesday.
And it will be interesting if he does continue to perform because it will only make his stock rise further in the transfer market.
