‘I think’: Gary Neville has a theory on why Raheem Sterling has struggled so much at Arsenal and Chelsea

Neville said: “I think when a quick player, say Michael Owen or Raheem Sterling start at the age of 16, 17, and they get to sort of like late 20s, 30, they’ve already played a full career.

“So you think why they are like they are now is because most players come in when they are like 19, 20, and they play to the 34, and you see a deterioration, they are actually in their bodies 34 already.

Wright added: “So that’s why you are looking at someone like Bellingham, Saka, you probably think, wow.”

Neville: “Yeah, be careful, be careful. I mean, particularly players who rely upon speed.”
