Raheem Sterling issued Chelsea transfer warning as Thomas Tuchel told of major Neymar problem

Gus Poyet does not think Raheem Sterling will be able to replicate what he has done at Manchester City if he joins Chelsea. Both the Blues and Man City are hopeful of striking a deal regarding the sale of Sterling in the near future, football.london understands.

Sterling is into the final year of his contract at the Etihad Stadium and is open to moving in order to find more regular first-team football elsewhere. Chelsea believe they can offer him just that and are very interested in bringing the 27-year-old to Stamford Bridge.

Over his seven-year spell with City, Sterling has netted a superb 131 goals in 339 appearances in all competitions. He's evolved into a goal-poacher thanks to the tutelage of Pep Guardiola.
