Chelsea are in the top ten for the most valuable squads in the world after the addition of Raheem Sterling and look set to increase that even further this summer. The Blues made a slow start to the window, with plenty of their rivals making additions before them.
However, the ball finally appears to be rolling as Sterling put pen to paper on a five-year deal to become the first men’s senior team signing of the Boehly-Clearlake era. A move for another Manchester City player was in the pipeline as personal terms were agreed to re-sign Nathan Ake.
However, the Netherlands international wasn’t able to make the switch after the two clubs were too far apart in their valuation of the defender. A centre-back does look set to join though as football.london understands a fee and personal terms have been agreed to sign Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli.
