Raheem Sterling

While a move for Sterling might have been audacious at best, it illuminates the fact that Klopp might have realised his problem. But he was not the only arrival after a bright start to the summer. Liverpool might just have proved that they are still in the market for another player after losing Sadio Mane this summer.

A winner with a proven track record of scoring goals, Sterling could prove to be the player Romelu Lukaku was supposed to be a year ago at a fraction of the ...

Now, in Sterling, they have a forward with the track record of getting the goals to position a club there. He was supposed to take Chelsea to the top of the league. In particular, he is the specialist at getting into scoring positions: he is not guaranteed to be clinical, but he pops up in the penalty box. The ideal third man to accompany selfless figures has to be more of a scorer than a supplier. If Lukaku was supposed to be Tuchel’s flagship buy, an uneasy relationship cast doubt on the German’s role in his arrival the increasingly cliched description of the Belgian last summer – the final piece in the jigsaw – looks more applicable to Sterling; at least as far as the forward line is concerned. And if it was scarcely the wittiest of chants, it felt one of the more meaningful.

Raheem Sterling agreeing to move to Chelsea has gone down well in the Stamford Bridge dressing room, and no wonder – it makes sense for everyone involved.

The impression is that these are players suited to playing for Tuchel, who is all about the collective. For Chelsea, it has to be the way forward. For Boehly, this is a moment to forget about the commercial aspect and think about the team. Top strikers are thin on the ground and Tuchel, who has pondered a switch from 3-4-3 to 4-3-3, needs versatility. Chelsea’s head coach has also given much thought to signing a winger who can tie a full-back in knots. With Mason Mount the only Chelsea player who hit double figures in the league last season, questions have to be asked about Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic and Kai Havertz. Other than Havertz, who goes through spells when he appears to be on course to become one of the best players in the world, none have come close to justifying their expensive fees.

Thomas Tuchel was hoping for a rebuild at Chelsea this summer and Raheem Sterling's transfer could be the start.

The American owner was not forthcoming when questioned over his reason for arriving but with Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso of interest to the La Liga side, and Frenkie de Jong potentially set for a departure, there could be plenty to discuss. Chelsea have an agreement in place with Leeds United for £55 million, with progress slowed due to the Brazilian's preference for a move to Barcelona. With days until Tuchel and co find themselves across the Atlantic, that may not be possible but there remain irons in the fire.

Hazard was playing for Chelsea at the time as they prepared to host Manchester City in a huge Premier League clash and he added spice to the game by mocking ...

To add extra spice to the contest at Stamford Bridge, Hazard was caught trying to do an impression of City star Sterling in a training session. He has grown frustrated by his reduced role at City, with that reason being the main motive behind his desire to move on this summer. But they had fallen away in the opening weeks of the following campaign, with City and Manchester United charging ahead.

As Chelsea close in on the £45million signing of Raheem Sterling, William Gallas explains why the move will be "great" for both parties.

So, I think it can be a good signing if he can help Chelsea, and at the same time, I think in that position, Chelsea didn't have really that player who make the difference last season." It will be great as well for Chelsea because we know the quality of Sterling. So, it seems like it's just a matter of time until Sterling to Chelsea is announced and confirmed by the club.

Jason Cundy however has claimed that if it is a choice between Sterling and Ronaldo or Neymar, then he would rather choose the England international. “I think the only way it could turn out bad for [Manchester] City is if Chelsea go on and win the league,” Wilshere told talkSPORT. “Is Sterling enough? “I think they need a striker, two centre-halves.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has managed for over a decade, coaching some of the most successful teams, and the Spaniard's most-capped XI is nothing ...

A key part of Messi's development, Guardiola had a massive impact on the Argentine as he began to dominate European football with a vast number of goals and assists. Having returned to Barcelona from Manchester United in the same summer Guardiola was installed as boss (2008), Pique has become part of the furniture at the Nou Camp and is still there today. He has partnered the likes of Nicolas Otamendi, Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte during his time at City. Having arrived in the same transfer window as Ederson, Walker would go on to help revolutionise the City back four with his technical ability and athleticism on the right side. In what will be a recurring theme in this side, Ederson was a key part of the City team that won four Premier League titles in five seasons, with the Brazilian impressing following his move from Benfica in 2017. The 51-year-old has picked up no less than 10 top-flight league titles in Spain, Germany and England, while also guiding Barcelona to two Champions League crowns.

Chelsea transfer news: Raheem Sterling's Chelsea kit number remains unclear, with a number of options currently available.

Kante isn't one to cause issues within the club, and in a surprise move, football.london believes that conversations have taken place within Chelsea, hinting the France international might relinquish his number to Sterling. He wore it for all of his seven years in Manchester, and although that is currently taken by N'Golo Kante, he may be prepared to give it up. Neither of those are currently available at Chelsea, with Malang Sarr occupying the former, and Timo Werner the latter. At Chelsea, many fans will be desperate for the incoming Raheem Sterling to avoid the club's No. 9 top. Including "x player will get to wear the famous No. 9 shirt" in a professional contract, or even with the fact acting as a gentleman's agreement, seems trivial. Yet, it is something that seemingly still happens.

The England international is on the brink of signing for Chelsea, while Neymar has also been linked.

“When he’s (Sterling) having a bad game, he’ll still be a seven out of 10 because he works for the team, he has a fantastic work ethic. Sterling has all but secured a move to Stamford Bridge in search of more game time after seeing declining minutes over the past three years. The Manchester City winger is closing in on a £45m move to Chelsea, which could rise to £55m with add-ons.

He's not pushing anybody out the way to tap those goals in. Chelsea are in need of defenders after Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger left this summer.

Chelsea are close to double signing from Manchester City but must agree fee for defender Ake.

Chelsea are also still waiting to find out whether or not Raphinha will join them, having agreed a £55m fee for the forward with Leeds United over a week ago. It remains to be seen whether or not Chelsea can agree a fee with City in time for Ake to have a chance of facing Club America, with the two clubs still some way apart in their valuations. Chelsea must still negotiate a fee for Ake with Manchester City, but the defender has agreed personal terms on a move back to the club he left five years ago.

JACK GAUGHAN: It comes with the London club set to seal the signing of City's Raheem Sterling in the coming days. Chelsea also hope to land Ake.

Chelsea are close to completing a move for Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling after agreeing personal terms with the star.

Chelsea are set to agree a fee with the Premier League champions, which would now all but seal one of the most high-profile transfers of the summer. Barring any unexpected stumbles, Sterling will link up with Chelsea once the move is completed and should feature on their pre-season tour to the United States. Tuchel also hopes to sign defender Nathan Ake, although optimism in West London about the deal doesn't marry with the stance at the Etihad that a bid of at least £50m will be required as well as having a replacement lined up. However, as previously reported by MEN Sport Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has been negotiating privately over a price for Sterling with Txiki Begiristain and the City recruitment team to ensure that the first bid offered — to be in excess of the £45million City got from Arsenal for Gabriel Jesus — is accepted.

Central midfield is also an issue for Chelsea, with N’Golo Kanté and Jorginho out of contract next summer. They agreed £55m fee with Leeds for Raphinha last week, only for the Brazil winger to indicate that his preference is to join Barcelona. It remains to be seen whether Barça, who have been engulfed by a major financial crisis, can agree a fee. The La Liga club remain in talks with Ousmane Dembélé over a contract extension. Robert Lewandowski is a potential target but the prolific Bayern Munich striker remains set on joining Barcelona. However Sterling has not been a regular starter for Pep Guardiola’s side in the biggest games over the past two years and he wants to leave City, who have sold Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal for £45m, to play more regularly. The deal would be a major boost for Thomas Tuchel, who has held constructive talks with Sterling about where he plans to use him.

He joined City from Liverpool for an initial £44 million in July 2015 and has gone on to win four Premier League titles, one FA Cup and three League Cups.

Sterling, a 77-time Three Lions international, is said to have agreed personal terms with the Blues ahead of his switch to the Stamford Bridge-based side on a contract that will see him rank among the club's highest earners. It was reported on Wednesday night that the 27-year-old is closing in on a move to Chelsea following the Citizens' decision to sell him in this transfer window. England international Raheem Sterling has reportedly agreed personal terms with another Premier League side ahead of his expected Manchester City departure, with the winger set to be among the club's highest-paid players.

However, Tuchel will apparently get the final say on whether the Portuguese icon will be good value for money. The Stamford Bridge outfit have been linked with several high-profile deals despite no longer boasting the wealth of Roman Abramovich. They still need to replace the departed defensive duo Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen. Wide-ranging reports have suggested that England forward Sterling has agreed personal terms with Chelsea ahead of a blockbuster transfer from Manchester City. Sterling was a key player for much of Pep Guardiola’s tenure but saw his game time diminish last term. Previous reports claim that Man City want around £45million for the forward.

Raheem Sterling is closing in on a move to Chelsea but will be remembered for all the brilliant things he did at Manchester City.

That is another void that the Blues will have to try and fill. The 27-year-old took it upon himself (ironically after receiving abuse at Stamford Bridge) to highlight the unfair discrepancies between coverage of white and black English footballers and to speak up against any inequality that he saw. He was involved in important goals right until the end of his City career.

After also selling Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal, and signing Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, City are going to look different up front this season. Chelsea ...

He also attempted and completed more dribbles than any of the Blues front line. It is even more likely Chelsea will play without a proper striker after sending last season's top scorer Lukaku on loan to Inter Milan. "Ideally, they would have sold to a non-Premier League club. Sometimes he looks really effective, on other occasions he can be quite wasteful and he still misses chances in front of goal. He is also third for assists, with 66, only behind Kevin de Bruyne (105) and Messi (80). Yet he remains a danger with the ball at his feet and his best days could still be ahead of him.

Sterling, who is set to swap champions Manchester City for Chelsea, has been spending time in the country of his birth before the start of pre-season.

According to reports, Liverpool were interested in bringing back ex-winger Raheem Sterling from Manchester City this summer.

Sterling first joined the Reds' youth set up in 2010, when he was 16. In his final season on Merseyside, Sterling was utilised in all three positions across the frontline, as well as in attacking midfield - a trait that he has shown at City over the years. Sterling left the Reds for Manchester in 2015, in a deal worth £57million. He has gone on to win four Premier League's, four League Cup's and an FA Cup.

Raheem Sterling is set to be Chelsea's highest paid player when he completes his transfer to the Blues.

The midfield duo are both set to see their contracts expire in 2023. Thomas Tuchel had direct contact with Sterling in the process of discussing the move and proved persuasive, as the winger hoped for greater playing time away from Manchester City to continue to improve himself during his peak years. Finally, it appears Chelsea will soon be able to announce their first new signing of the transfer window.

Raheem Sterling is on the verge of joining Chelsea, after the Manchester City winger agreed personal terms with the London club on Wednesday.

Sterling will go down as one of the greatest players in City's history. He’s done fantastic things for this club and should leave with respect The fee is likely to be in the region of £45m plus add-ons.
