Todd Boehly has been warned against signing Raheem Sterling despite Chelsea close to welcoming the Manchester City star to Stamford Bridge. The 27-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from the Etihad this summer and the Blues have emerged as the England international's most likely destination.
football.london understand that Thomas Tuchel's side have nearly completed the signing of Sterling in a deal worth £45million, plus an additional £10million payable via add-ons. The winger looks set to become the first signing of a new era in west London, with Boehly eager to welcome 'a-list' players this summer.
However, despite the American billionaire's plans to bolster Chelsea's armoury, former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan is unconvinced by Sterling. Speaking on talkSPORT, the now-pundit has explained his concerns with narrative that the Blues are making a 'statement signing'.
