Chelsea fans welcomed Raheem Sterling to the club's Los Angeles pre-season training base with great cheer moments after the 27-year-old penned a long-term deal. The former Manchester City star was presented to Blues supporters who were waiting to get a glimpse of Thomas Tuchel's first signing of the summer.
Sterling proceeded to sign a fan's shirt as supporters clambered to get a picture of the England international. With his best years ahead of him while regarded as one of Europe's leading forwards, Todd Boehly will be hoping that his £47.5million investment continues to attract shirt signings and selfies.
And, speaking to the official Chelsea website, fans will be impressed by Sterling's first words since joining the club. He said: "First and foremost, it's a pleasure to be here. I've obviously achieved a lot in my career so far, but there is still so much more to achieve, and I'm really looking forward to doing that in a Chelsea shirt under Thomas' management.
