England striker Raheem Sterling is one step away from officially joining Chelsea. This was known through British media reports, Sky Sports, which said the 27-year-old player was in London to undergo a medical as a final condition before joining Chelsea.
Since the 2022 summer transfer window opened, Raheem Sterling has been reported to be moving to Chelsea. The reason is, the Blues (Chelsea’s nickname) does need a reliable striker to be able to compete in the top standings of the English League next season.
Now, as reported by Sky Sports, Monday (11/7/2022), Raheem Sterling is undergoing medical tests with Chelsea. After that, he will be officially introduced as a new Chelsea player.
Previous news reported that Chelsea had agreed to bring in Raheem Sterling from Manchester City. The two clubs have agreed on a transfer fee of £47.5 million.
Reportedly, Raheem Sterling will accept a contract with a duration of five years, with the option of an extension of one season. A personal agreement has also reportedly been agreed by Chelsea.
Of course the arrival of Raheem Sterling is good news for Chelsea. His presence could make Chelsea sharper in the Premier League and Champions League.
In addition, Chelsea also recently lost their striker, Romelu Lukaku, who chose to return to Inter Milan on loan. In addition, Timo Werner is also rumoured to be sold by Chelsea this season.
Last season, Chelsea’s attack line was quite blunt, so it was difficult for them to fight for the Premier League title with Liverpool and Manchester City. It is not impossible for Chelsea to be competitive again with the arrival of Raheem Sterling this time.
