Chelsea to sign Raheem Sterling this summer?

Chelsea are plotting a summer move for Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling, according to The Telegraph.

The England international was in-and-out of the starting line-up last season, but still impressed with 17 goals and nine assists from 47 appearances.

It is now claimed that he could leave the Cityzens this summer, having yet to commit to a new contract beyond the forthcoming campaign.

Chelsea are one of the big teams keeping tabs on him. Thomas Tuchel's side are prepared to sell one of Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech or Timo Werner.

Using the funds recouped, they could plot a raid for Sterling. The Cityzens are likely to sanction his sale if they receive around £50 million.

Arsenal have also been linked with the former Liverpool graduate but they seem unlikely to make an approach after failing to make the top four.

Sterling is determined to play in the Champions League next term. That is a huge blow for the Gunners, who finished fifth in the league standings.
