Fans told ‘there is a good chance’ star will be signing with Chelsea

Chelsea have a good chance of signing Raheem Sterling this summer – as he has accepted his time with Man City is over.

Sterling developed into a real star during his time with Man City and can say that his goals helped the club win numerous Premier League titles and a couple of League Cups

However – with Pep Guardiola seeking to freshen things up and ward off the challenge from Liverpool next season – he is keen to offload a number of players that he feels can no longer offer the club anything more

And that has led to reports in the Media that we have opened talks to sign the 131 goal star – with reports suggesting that he could cost the Blues around £40 million

Now – amid that speculation – Fans have been told that there is a very good chance that the club will be signing Sterling over the next few months talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook, who told Give Me Sport: “I think there’s a good chance, I think he’s their top target. Obviously there has been conversations about Neymar, but I don’t see them breaking the bank for him.

“Tuchel is a big fan of Sterling, I think Sterling has accepted that his time at City has come to an end, and if they can agree a similar fee to Gabriel Jesus at Arsenal of £45m-£50m, that would be a good piece of business all round.”

However – Sterling won’t be able to replicate the form he’s displayed for Man City at Chelsea, according to Gus Poyet.

Poyet told Lord Ping: “Raheem Sterling used to be a wide player, getting the ball in one-versus-one situations into the box – now he’s transformed his play style and is more of a goal scorer, but that was at Man City.

“I don’t know if he can do the same at Chelsea.

“If Sterling joins Chelsea, it’ll be down to Thomas Tuchel looking for a specific characteristic.

“Maybe he thinks that he’s missing that kind of wide player as Chelsea have been linked with Sterling and now Raphinha. It will be interesting to know who is leaving if they both sign because that will mean they will have six or seven players for just two positions.”
