27-year old winger Raheem Sterling is reportedly set to sign for Chelsea in a move worth around £47.5m from Premier League champions, Manchester City! English football correspondent David Ornstein said via Twitter on Saturday:
"Chelsea reach total agreement with Man City to sign Raheem Sterling in deal worth £50m.* 27yo winger to join on 5+1yr contract. #CFC working through logistics of organising medical in London & if all goes to plan he'll join USA tour."
In 2021/22, Raheem Sterling made 47 appearances, scoring 17 goals and assisting 9. **
Raheem Sterling made his professional debut on 24th March 2012 for Liverpool in a Premier League match vs Wigan Athletic aged 17 years and 107 days. This made him (at the time) the third-youngest player to ever play for Liverpool. He then stayed at Anfield until 2015, when he moved to Manchester City for a fee of around £49m in total which, at the time, made him the most expensive English footballer of all time. In his time at Liverpool, Sterling played 129 games, scoring 23 and assisting 25. In his time at Manchester City, spanning 7 years, Raheem Sterling made 337 appearances, scoring 131 and assisting 94. His time at Man City was a very trophy-laden period of his career, where he won the (now-called) Carabao Cup 5 times, FA Cup once, Community Shield twice and the Premier League 4 times!
Now Sterling is set to move onto his next adventure with Chelsea with the main question regarding how well he will do with the Blues. How do you think Raheem Sterling will do with Chelsea?
