Chelsea are finally making some concrete progress in the transfer market on many fronts. After a rather slow start to proceedings which opened on June 10, new owner Todd Boehly is starting to make moves in the market to use the £200million plus transfer budget promised to Thomas Tuchel.
Who the new faces could be remained a mystery for a certain length of time with it once being believed that one of Ousmane Dembele or Raphinha would be moving to Stamford Bridge, but Barcelona had other ideas.
Further back, Matthijs de Ligt and Jules Kounde have been two defensive names hot on the agenda of the Blues, but it is two other centre-halves who are currently closing in on joining Tuchel. One thing for certain though is that Raheem Sterling will become a Chelsea forward imminently, as football.london understands that a £45million plus £10million in add-ons deal was agreed between the two clubs with the 27-year-old having undergone parts of his medical in London already ahead of flying out to LA to join the club's pre-season tour.
