Trent Alexander-Arnold is poised to play a major role in whether Chelsea can complete the signing of Raheem Sterling. The Manchester City forward has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, and the Liverpool defender looks set to ease his countryman's transition.
football.london understand that talks between Sterling and the west Londoners are progressing well. Thomas Tuchel's side are said to have agreed a deal with City worth £55million including add-ons for the 27-year-old's signature.
With a move to the Blues seemingly on the cards this summer, the England international has begun preparing for life away from the Etihad after agreeing to sell his current property near Manchester, according to The Mirror. The report adds that Alexander-Arnold has been in talks to purchase Sterling's house in Cheshire, which is set to cost the England international around £4.5million.
