Although fan opinions of Raheem Sterling remains split, when it comes to current and former player or coaches, there is no two ways about it. This is a very good move for Chelsea.
The Blues are closing in on a deal to bring the Manchester City and England winger to Stamford Bridge in a move that could make him the first male signing of the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership era. football.london understands that a £45million transfer, with additional add-ons worth £10million, has been agreed, as Thomas Tuchel attempts to get his first summer signing onto his tour of America as soon as possible.
Chelsea have so far been slow in the transfer market, seemingly missing out on two target wingers other than Sterling, and having talks for centre backs dry up. Sterling provides a point of intrigue for the club though, as a player that has won four of the last five Premier League titles is added to the squad.
