- Sterling to become first marquee signing under new ownership
- England forward has agreed personal terms at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea’s new owners are poised to make their first marquee signing after agreeing a fee worth up to £50m with Manchester City for Raheem Sterling.
The England winger has already agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with an option of a further year. Chelsea, who will make Sterling their highest earner by handing him a deal worth just over £300,000 a week, will complete the signing once the 27-year-old passes his medical.
