Man City and Chelsea 'hopeful' of striking Raheem Sterling deal and more transfer rumours

Manchester City and Chelsea are hopeful of striking a deal for Raheem Sterling to move to Stamford Bridge this summer, according to reports. The England international is being heavily linked with a move away from the Etihad, having been touted for a departure at various points over the past year or so.

Sterling himself suggested he would be open to leaving City last season and Chelsea look to be leading the way for his signature. Thomas Tuchel's side are being linked with a multitude of players following Todd Boehly’s takeover of the club.

Various reports have suggested they have agreed a fee with Leeds United over the transfer of Raphinha, although personal terms still need to be agreed. That could though enable them to turn their attentions towards Sterling.
