Chelsea gave fans a glimpse of the mural through their official social media accounts with the caption:

"Back on home soil."

The mural features the image of the former Man City attacker celebrating in Chelsea's colours.

According to the Daily Mail, the mural has been planted on the West Stand inside the stadium.

Sterling will have a golden chance to have a better view of the mural on Saturday, August 14, when the Blues host rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, in their first home game of the new season.

Raheem Sterling's history with London

It is understood that Chelsea honoured Sterling with the mural owing to his history with the city of London.

The England international was born in Jamaica before he moved to London at the age of five, where he grew up.
