CHELSEA IN £60M STERLING CHASE
West London side Chelsea are confident of signing England international Raheem Sterling from fellow Premier League side Manchester City. The Blues are keen on signing the former Queens Park Rangers (QPR) and Liverpool attacker and it could take closer to £60m for City to sanction the transfer according to Sky Sports News. Sterling has one year left on his current deal with the Premier League holders and they would prefer to sell him if they receive a suitable bid rather than let him leave for free when his contract is up next summer.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is a big admirer of 27-year-old forward Sterling and he’s certain that the Englishman will fit into his team. He’s said to be targeting Sterling as a replacement for Belgian international RomeluLukakuwho’s on his way out of the club. Lukaku is in his second spell at Stamford Bridge following his return from Italian side Inter Milan last summer, but things have not gone according to plan for the striker.

SPURS EYEING RAHEEM STERLING SWOOP
North London outfit Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Raheem Sterling from Manchester City this summer according to the reports in the British media. The specific report from The Telegraph stated that Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte would like to strengthen his team with the winning of the England international.
Raheem Sterling has been one of the most important players for Manchester City over the course of the past four to five seasons. He won his fourth Premier League title in five seasons at Manchester City after they came from behind to beat Aston Villa 3-2 at home. Raheem Sterling came on as a second half substitute for Algerian player Riyad Mahrez very early in the second half and he was the man who provided the first goal of the game for German midfielder IlkayGundogan who had also been introduced into the game just as Sterling. Villa had just taken a two-nil lead before Sterling provided the cross for Gundogan to head in at the far post to halve the deficit for the Citizens. Spanish midfielder Rodri Hernandez then levelled the game for Manchester City almost immediately via the assist from another substitute in OleksandarZinchenko. Gundogan then scored his second goal of the game to hand City the win with all the three coming under the space of six minutes. Continue reading SPURS EYEING RAHEEM STERLING SWOOP
