John Terry has delivered his verdict on Raheem Sterling. The 27-year-old has penned a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge and an announcement is now imminent. The deal will last until June 2027 and there is an option for a further season.
The England international becomes the first men's team signing of the Todd Boehly era and will join up with Thomas Tuchel and the first-team squad for the Blues' pre-season tour of the United States, during which games against Club America, Charlotte FC and Arsenal will be played.
football.london understands Chelsea will pay Manchester City an initial fee worth around £45million for Sterling. A further £10million will be due to the Premier League champions if a number of performance-related add-ons are met throughout the 27-year-old's time at Stamford Bridge.
