England forward, Raheem Sterling, has completed his move to Chelsea from Manchester City in a deal worth £50 million.
The 27-year-old signed a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge with the option of a further 12 months and has linked up with Thomas Tuchel’s squad on their pre-season tour of the United States.
Manchester City signed Sterling from Liverpooll in 2015 for £49 million.
He went on to score 131 goals in 339 games, winning four Premier League titles.
“I’ve obviously achieved a lot in my career so far, but there is still so much more to achieve and I’m really looking forward to doing that in a Chelsea shirt, under Thomas’ management.
“London is my home and where it all started for me, and it’s amazing I now have the opportunity to play in front of friends and family week in, week out at Stamford Bridge. I’m really looking forward to meeting the fans there soon.
I can’t wait to get going now and continue to do my talking on the pitch,” Sterling said
Sterling becomes the first men’s signing of the Todd Boehly era at Chelsea and could soon be joined by Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, who has agreed a four-year deal and will undergo a medical on Thursday ahead of a potential £32 million move.
