Raheem Sterling unlocks Chelsea a huge boost in the race to sign Aston Villa star Leon Bailey. The 25-year-old winger has become heavily linked with the Blues recently, as Christian Pulisic seemingly nears an exit.
According to the Daily Mail, the west Londoners are set to make an approach for Bailey in the event that the United States international leaves Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are said to be anticipating Pulisic's exit after informing the club that he wants regular first-team opportunities.
Pulisic fell out of favour under former head coach Thomas Tuchel and he looked set for a new lease of life under new boss Graham Potter. But, even under new management, the winger has struggled to nail down a place in the Blues' starting XI.
