Chelsea finally have their first men's signing of the Todd Boehly/Clearlake era, and it's a biggie. Raheem Sterling's confirmed £45m deal to bring him to Stamford Bridge has been well anticipated, and Blues fans might have a chance to see him in action sooner rather than later.
After being relatively idle for the first period of the window, Thomas Tuchel could be rewarded with three quickfire signings as Kalidou Koulibaly also closes in on a move to London. Meanwhile. Former Manchester City teammate Nathan Ake could follow shortly.
This has now given Tuchel a strong idea of what his squad for next season will look like as he continues work with his team out in America for preseason.
