He has made just one subsequent appearance for the senior side, in the FA Cup against Norwich earlier this year, but, at just 18 years of age, Sterling is set for many more outings at Stamford Bridge. The Islington native has all of the attributes required to become the perfect wing-back, which is why Conte was so drawn to Sterling, given the Italian’s preference for playing a 3-5-2 formation....
