Chelsea are really looking to kick on with their summer transfer business following the signing of Raheem Sterling. The Blues confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that Sterling had signed a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge – becoming the first senior signing of the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital era.
Supporters of the west London club were beginning to become impatient with the lack of activity behind the scenes, but with Sterling now confirmed, Chelsea continue to progress on the transfer front. Kalidou Koulibaly is expected to be announced as the Blues' newest signing very soon after reaching an agreement of a £33.8million fee with Napoli, and personal terms have also been agreed with the defender.
Nathan Ake remains a big target for Thomas Tuchel, with talks continuing to progress with Manchester City over the Netherlands defender, football.london understands. Ake and Koulibaly are expected to be signed at this rate, but the pursuit of new defenders will not stop there.
