“Very close” – Chelsea expected to finalise big-name signing this week

Posted by

Chelsea are reportedly expected to make significant progress over the signing of Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling this week.

Journalist Ben Jacobs has tweeted a thread about Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Manchester United, but also took this opportunity to play down talk of any serious interest from Chelsea in the Portugal international.

Instead, it seems Sterling is the top priority for the west London giants, with an agreement now seemingly very close…

Chelsea need new signings in attack after the poor form of Romelu Lukaku, who has just returned to Inter Milan on loan.

Sterling’s record at Man City shows that he could be ideal to give Thomas Tuchel’s side more of a goal threat up front, though of course there are few better in the business than Ronaldo when it comes to scoring goals.

Still, Sterling is a better age, with Ronaldo turning 38 next season, whereas the England ace could still have his peak years ahead of him.

  1. We need to sign players,not any players,but the qualities that will improve our forward and also defends

  2. start first with..Christopher Nkunku for a complete play making with Timo Wener.
    let this be immediately as 5/7/2022.
    Then take Osman Dembele for free,
    Avoid rebuilding on highly and costly players..
    check for another one from Lazio and Wolves.

    Regards from Kenya.

  3. More than a striker we need a good centre back. A rudiger replacement. That’s what our focus should be on
