What Antonio Rudiger did as Chelsea complete Raheem Sterling transfer amid Thomas Tuchel plan

Antonio Rudiger has 'liked' Raheem Sterling's picture on Instagram which announces his move to Stamford Bridge this summer. Passing ships with the former Chelsea defender, the 27-year-old forward has penned a long-term deal in west London.

And, making the most of picturesque scenery on the west coast, the Blues' first signing of the summer was pictured in Todd Boehly's homeland as part of the announcement. Sterling proceeded to post a handful of pictures from the Chelsea's shoot in LA - and Rudiger was eager to show his appreciation for the winger.
