Raheem Sterling: Chelsea Close In on First Signing Under Todd Boehly With Manchester City Star Ready to Join

• Chelsea look set to push through with Raheem Sterling's transfer with the Manchester City star valued at around 35 million euros
• Thomas Tuchel is understood to be convinced by the 27-year-old as he looks to bolster his ranks ahead of next season
• Sterling will most likely slot into the starting 11, spelling doom for the likes of Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Callum Hudson-Odoi

New reports indicate that Chelsea are confident of pushing Raheem Sterling's transfer over the line.

Sterling has only one year left on his contract and is understood to be ready to quit Manchester City and move to London.

The England international seemingly has serious concerns about making it regularly to Pep Guardiola's squad with the arrivals of potent attackers in Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez.

With the World Cup on the horizon, Sterling will also look to boost his chances of being selected in the Gareth Southgate squad by playing regularly.
