Premier League giants Chelsea have been urged to make new signing Raheem Sterling their new captain for the upcoming season.
The England international ended his seven-year star with Manchester City after completing a move to rivals Chelsea last week.
Former Manchester City and England winger Trevor Sinclair feels the 27-year-old is a suitable choice for the captain’s armband.
“I think Sterling should go in at Chelsea and become the captain,” Sinclair told talkSPORT.
“If you look at it, he’s vice-captain of England and the only person who you can say has more experience than him is Thiago Silva and he’s getting on.
“You can’t build your team around someone who might be leaving at the end of the season.
“Everyone looks up to him. You hear young players all the time talking about how Sterling did this and how he helped them with that.
“I think he could go in and be a great captain for Chelsea. He could lead that team to something very special.”
He also described Sterling as “a winner, and somebody who never gives up.”
