Thomas Tuchel might finally have a new member of his squad to rely upon this summer after Raheem Sterling agreed personal terms with the Blues. The German coach headed into the transfer window looking for a rebuild, with the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen setting the stall out for a stiff task for the new owners.
Todd Boehly has since taken the role of Chelsea's sporting director with the club's board undergoing a makeover, with the notable exits of Bruce Buck, Marina Granovskaia and Petr Cech. Boehly and Tuchel are set to lead the Blues' transfer endeavours and still have plenty of work to do.
It's believed that Chelsea were hoping to have two players to add to their first team squad ahead of their pre-season training camp in Los Angeles, ahead of a USA tour where they take on Club America, Charlotte and Arsenal. That deadline will be tight but it looks as if the Blues may finally be finding some traction.
