Why Raheem Sterling will shine for Chelsea as Todd Boehly sent 'great' £55m transfer message

William Gallas believes his former club Chelsea signing Raheem Sterling will be a "great" move for both parties. The Blues have agreed personal terms with the 27-year-old winger, who is expected to complete his move in the very near future.

football.london understands that Chelsea and Manchester City verbally agreed to a £45million (plus £10m in add-ons) deal for Sterling last week. This week has seen club officials finalising the deal, with personal terms also agreed.

Sterling is expected to become the first senior signing of Todd Boehly's time at the football club. The American is also acting as the sporting director on an interim basis and supposedly had a big role in the deal to sign Sterling.
