Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling has been linked with a surprise transfer to Chelsea this summer and Reece James has already poured praise on the winger. Sterling will have just one year remaining on his City contract come the summer and is yet to decide on his next move.
Arsenal have also been strongly linked with the England winger but after missing out on the Champions League to Tottenham, their chances of signing him have no doubt taken a blow. Elsewhere there are reports that Real Madrid could now turn to Sterling after being dramatically rejected by Kylian Mbappe.
Thomas Tuchel is set for a hectic transfer window with defensive reinforcements in particular of the utmost importance. The Telegraph have reported this week that the Blues have drawn up a list of eight candidates they are looking at with Sevilla's Jules Kounde and RB Leipzig's Josko Gvardiol priorities.
