Chelsea face Raheem Sterling issue with Mason Mount and Reece James contract talks

Chelsea have seemingly pulled off the coup of the summer transfer window by bagging Raheem Sterling for less than £50million - but their marquee signing could complicate contract talks with Mason Mount and Reece James.

After months of turmoil at Stamford Bridge, the Londoners' new co-owner Todd Boehly has a whole raft of issues to resolve before the new Premier League campaign kicks off. The American's main priority right now is helping Thomas Tuchel bolster the Blues current playing squad, with the imminent capture of Sterling expected to be the first of many this summer.

However, Boehly and Tuchel also realise the importance of locking down the likes of Mount and James to new long-term deals now that the club can participate in negotiations once again.
