It's been a long time coming, but Chelsea finally seem ready to show some productivity in the transfer market. The Blues have announced the signing of Raheem Sterling, while progress has been made towards signing a defender in Kalidou Koulibaly, with the Napoli star set for a medical tomorrow.
Thomas Tuchel has been awaiting the signings to begin his rebuild following Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen's departures, with the team continuing their pre-season preparations in Los Angeles. The Blues have seen a series of names on their shortlist to reinvigorate the backline, including Koulibaly, Jules Kounde, Nathan Ake and Matthijs de Ligt.
Todd Boehly's summer as interim sporting director is kicking into action with Chelsea confident of landing Koulibaly in a £34 million deal, while talks have been advanced for Ake, despite the discrepancies over a fee between Man City and the Blues. It appears that de Ligt is now more likely to now head to Baryen Munich following talks in Turin.
