Raheem Sterling's Chelsea contract and the impact it will have on Mason Mount and Reece James

Finally, it appears Chelsea will soon be able to announce their first new signing of the transfer window. Raheem Sterling has agreed personal terms with the Blues and now negotiations must be completed with Manchester City.

The clubs are believed to have outlined a deal worth £45 million plus £10 million in add-ons for the England international, with Sterling set to become Chelsea's highest paid player following Romelu Lukaku's loan to Inter Milan.

The 27-year-old is expected to receive in excess of £300,000 per week at Stamford Bridge. Lukaku is believed to have brought home £325,000 each week, while N'Golo Kante earns £290,000 per week.
