Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling has been spotted in London as he is due for a medical at Premier League rival club Chelsea.

It was gathered that the Stamford Bridge outfit already agreed a £45million transfer fee with the hierarchy at the Etihad Stadium.

A fee of £45million (plus £10m in add-ons) fee for the 27-year-old, who is set to become Todd Boehly's first marquee signing at the club, Football.London reports.

Barber @hd_cutz_london on Instagram shared a photo showing off Sterling’s new haircut indicating the player is ready to complete his big-money move to Chelsea.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will be hoping the addition of Sterling will help improve his under-performing front line.

Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner are all disappointed in the attacking third and the club will hope Sterling can improve their attack.

Tuchel is reluctant to sign Cristiano Ronaldo

Meanwhile, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is reportedly reluctant to sign Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo, 37, is currently staring at an uncertain future with the Red Devils despite having a year left on his Old Trafford deal.

The Portugal captain wants to keep playing in the UEFA Champions League and would consider joining Chelsea this summer.

Chelsea boss Tuchel has fears over how the signing can impact his side and believes it can cause the same issue for him as it did for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United last year.

Hakim Ziyech makes huge announcement

Sports Brief earlier reported that Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech has spoken for the first time amid an unrelenting rumour mill regarding his future.

The Morocco international has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in recent weeks, and boss Thomas Tuchel openly expressed his willingness to allow Ziyech to leave in the near future.

AC Milan are currently the favourites to sign the 29-year-old, although nothing has been concluded as of Friday, July 8.
