Chelsea are said to be leading the race to sign Raheem Sterling this summer, but Thomas Tuchel has been told that the Blues can sign an alternative who is 'better than Kylian Mbappe'. The Manchester City forward has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge lately, though Real Madrid and Arsenal are also said to be interested in his services.
With the German boss eager to bolster his strike force this summer, Sterling hasn't been the only forward on the club's transfer radar. Chelsea have also been heavily linked with a deal that reunites Tuchel with former colleague Ousmane Dembele.
The west Londoners are understood to be favourites to sign Dembele, who sees his contract at the Camp Nou expire at the end of the month. The 25-year-old rejected Barcelona's latest effort to retain his services, according to journalist Sique Rodriguez Gairi from Spanish radio network La Cadena SER.
