There was an early start for Raheem Sterling on Wednesday. The first men’s team signing of the Todd Boehly era at Chelsea arrived late the previous evening and much was still to be done ahead of his signing from Man City being announced.
It was on the palm-tree-lined streets of Hollywood that the England international was whisked off to in order for photos to be taken and video to be recorded. Despite his jet lag, Sterling cut a relaxed figure throughout – even when he had to rush into the middle of a busy road for one final shot.
It was at 9am LA time that Chelsea confirmed the 27-year-old’s arrival in a deal worth £47.5million Less than 30 minutes later, he was preparing for his first training session under Thomas Tuchel.
