Striker errs with aim, playing as left-winger? (3,4,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sir keir starmer

'left-winger?' is the definition.
(Labour Party politician)

'striker errs with aim playing' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'striker'+'errs'+'aim'='strikererrsaim'
'strikererrsaim' anagrammed gives 'SIR KEIR STARMER'.

'as' is the link.
