Chelsea issued 'definite' Raheem Sterling transfer message ahead of £55m announcement

Glen Johnson believes Raheem Sterling to Chelsea for £45million (plus £10m in add-ons) could be "one of the bargains" of the 2022 summer transfer window. The Blues recently agreed a fee with Manchester City for the 27-year-old, who completed his medical in London over the weekend.

An announcement regarding Sterling's move to Stamford Bridge is imminent, and he is expected to join up with his new Chelsea team-mates in the United States in the coming days. Sterling is set to become the Blues' highest-paid player, earning about £300,000-a-week – with Todd Boehly close to securing his first marquee signing as Chelsea co-owner.

Sterling wanted to leave Manchester City after starting just 23 times in the side's title-winning campaign last season. The England international managed talks over his future himself to ensure he gets what is best for him from a footballing perspective.
