Chelsea are on the verge of completing the signing of Raheem Sterling from Manchester City. The 27-year-old has agreed personal terms with the Blues and is expected to complete the move to London in the very near future.
The clubs are still working on the minor details of the fee, although on Friday, £45million (plus £10m in add-ons) was verbally agreed on, football.london understands. Sterling is expected to be announced as a Chelsea player before the squad jet off to the United States this weekend to begin their pre-season tour.
Plenty has been said about Sterling moving to Chelsea, with many people thinking Man City are letting him leave for too cheap – despite just 12 months remaining on his contract – but others don't seem too sold on the prospect. His numbers at the Etihad Stadium over the past seven years, though, speak for themselves.
