After Chelsea and Manchester City agreed on a price, Raheem Sterling was seen in London before the England international's medical there.
Raheem Sterling has been seen in London before his Chelsea medical. The 27-year-old is expected to be Todd Boehly's first high-profile acquisition at the club and the two clubs have reached an agreement on a £45 million (plus £10 million in add-ons) transfer fee.
Sterling will formally join with Chelsea in the coming days after passing his medical with Man City. The representative of England is anticipated to have his physical in London before traveling to the United States to link up with his new Chelsea teammates.
Now, Sterling has been sighted in the city on Instagram, showing off his new hairstyle with the help of his barber, @hd cutz london. Theoretically, Sterling should be prepared to finalize his expensive move to Chelsea now that his hair is in tip-top shape.
Sterling's signing will give Thomas Tuchel hope that his underwhelming front line can improve. In the offensive third last year, players like Timo Werner, Romelu Lukaku, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic, and Hakim Ziyech all fell short.
William Gallas, a former defender for the Blues, believes Sterling is making the correct decision and that it will benefit both parties. In an interview with Football.london held by Genting Casino, Gallas stated: "Therefore, it will be fantastic for him to transfer for Chelsea. Because we are aware of Sterling's caliber, it will also be fantastic for Chelsea." He is really challenging to defend against. He is the kind of striker or winger who enjoys receiving the ball in the back of the defense. And because Sterling is so quick, we as a former defense don't like it [these passes in behind]. So, if he can aid Chelsea, I think it can be a fantastic signing, but at the same time, I believe Chelsea didn't have much of a choice in that situation.
