Raheem Sterling proposal to be prioritised as Chelsea neglect Ousmane Dembele transfer wish

There have been reports that have placed some concern on where Chelsea lie with their pursuit for Ousmane Dembele. Whilst Chelsea fans await their first deal of the summer to be confirmed, the Blues are reportedly deciding whether or not Raheem Sterling should be a priority.

CBS reporter, Ben Jacobs claims that Chelsea are likely to prioritise their pursuit of Sterling over Dembele this summer. He also reports that Dembele’s only formal offer so far comes from Barcelona with his extension. There's always a sense of doubt in any transfer but Thomas Tuchel's clear interest in Dembele would suggest the opposite.

Sports journalist and transfer guru Fabrizio Roman suggested that Chelsea are not close to signing Sterling and are far off the mark of what Manchester City are asking for. The question is, should Tuchel be prioritising one player over the other, and if so, who is the better fit for Chelsea?
