Chelsea have confirmed the sensational signing of Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling.
The Blues agreed a deal with the reigning Premier League champions last week and will pay up to £50m including add-ons for the winger’s services. He underwent a medical in London over the weekend and has committed to a lucrative five-year contract at Stamford Bridge, with the option for an extra year, and is becoming one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League.
The England winger becomes Chelsea’s first signing of the summer transfer window and the first of the Todd Boehly era after the American completed his protracted takeover of the club earlier this summer. He flew out to the US this week to join his new teammates for their pre-season tour.
