Raheem Sterling among three Man City stars Chelsea are targeting

It was previously reported that the Thomas Tuchel-tutored are keen to go all out and sign Raheem Sterling to replace Romelu Lukaku who departed the club for Inter Milan.

Daily Mail claims the Stamford Bridge dwellers could make a move for two more City players including Nathan Ake and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Interest in the defensive duo of Ake and Zinchenko comes from the need for Chelsea to strengthen their backline after the departures of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger who moved to the La Liga.

However, it remains unclear if Man City would be willing to sell all three players to a direct rival for the Premier League.

Boehly and Tuchel have reportedly already discussed the possibility of signing the trio, though it could prove difficult to persuade the Citizens to strengthen one of their rivals.

Why Petr Cech quit Chelsea

Earlier, Sports brief reported Petr Cech decided to quit as Chelsea's Technical and Performance Advisor after a disagreement with Todd Boehly.

Cech is said to have felt isolated after he was ignored in key transfer decisions including that of Romelu Lukaku.

The legendary goalkeeper spent a total of 14 years with the Blues, with 11 of those coming as a player.
