Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling is closing in on a £45million exit to Premier League rivals Chelsea, a move that will put him among the 10 most expensive English footballers in history...again.
For Sterling, the move will see him head back to London having spent the last 12 years of his life in the north west, having joined Liverpool ’s academy from Queens Park Rangers in 2010.
The move will see Sterling join the Blues for a fee just shy of the £49m City paid to sign the winger, with Sterling scoring 131 times in 339 appearances in a seven-year stint that has included winning four Premier League titles, four Carabao Cup trophies and an FA Cup.
