Thomas Tuchel given brutal Raheem Sterling transfer verdict as Chelsea shown £67m alternative

Thomas Tuchel has been told Chelsea have made a mistake signing Raheem Sterling and should instead cut their losses with Tammy Abraham. The latter swapped Stamford Bridge for the Stadio Olimpico last year after falling out of favour under the Blues boss.

And, ironically enough, since Abraham's exit, the German has been in the market for artillery to bolster his strike force amid growing misfortune in the final-third. As a result, Todd Boehly welcomed Raheem Sterling to west London this summer in a bid to solve Chelsea's goal-scoring woes.

However, despite the former Manchester City forward having already shown great promise for the Blues, Tuchel has been told that the 27-year-old is not the answer to Chelsea's problems. Instead, Boehly has been encouraged to set sights on Abraham, who is said to have a buy-back clause which will be activated in 2023.
