Chelsea have confirmed the signing of England forward, Raheem Sterling, from Manchester City in a £50m deal.

The 27-year-old has signed a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge.

Sterling’s deal, according to the BBC, is worth up to £50m including add-ons. He had one year left on his contract at City and had attracted interest from major clubs overseas.

He has linked up with the Chelsea squad in Los Angeles for pre-season.

Chelsea’s Chairman and co-controlling owner Boehly said, “Raheem Sterling is a serial winner and his signing is an important step in strengthening our squad. We are delighted for Raheem to return to London with Chelsea, and we look forward to seeing his world-class talent on display at Stamford Bridge.”
