Former Man City star Trevor Sinclair has warned Raheem Sterling against joining Chelsea this summer.

Sterling is believed to be a top transfer target for the Blues who are keen to strengthen their striking department ahead of next season.

According to Metro UK, Chelsea’s new owner Todd Boehly wants to make the England forward his first major signing, with the West Londoners currently in talks with Man City over a transfer deal.

Chelsea's interest in Sterling comes at a time the ex-Liverpool ace has fallen down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola.

While Chelsea are said to be firm favourites to sign Sterling, Sinclair believes the City ace would be making a fatal mistake to move to Stamford Bridge.

According to Sinclair, Thomas Tuchel's side does not stand a chance to challenge for the Premier League title next season.

"I would say no because I don’t think Chelsea will be competitive with Man City and Liverpool next season," Sinclair told talkSPORT about Sterling's potential move to Stamford Bridge.

"They’ve lost players, the club is in a transitional phase where they’ve lost a lot of players and they’ve got to do a lot of rebuilding," he added.

Arsenal submit bid to sign ex-Chelsea striker

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Arsenal have submitted an offer to sign Alvaro Morata as Mikel Arteta steps ups efforts to sign a striker.

Morata has been a Chelsea player before but did not perform as expected despite his huge transfer fee.

Arsenal are however more interested in landing Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City and will look keenly at other options should the move fail.
