Raheem Sterling admission hints at Chelsea role if £45m transfer is secured

Raheem Sterling is close to sealing a move to Chelsea, so football.london takes a look where the England international could fit in at Stamford BridgeSocial media can be a brilliant place during the summer transfer window, but it can equally be a place full of negativity and pessimism. Last month, when Raheem Sterling was named as a target for Chelsea for the first time, Twitter, especially, was strangely downbeat.

There's a feeling that Chelsea signing a Manchester City 'reject' is not what the Blues need to close the gap to the Premier League champions. 'Reject' is far from the truth, however.This is a man who has scored 131 goals in 339 appearances in all competitions for City since signing for £50million from Liverpool in 2015. Granted, it's not been ideal for Sterling in terms of how many starts he got last season – 23 – but the competition for places at the Etihad Stadium, especially in the attacking positions, is immense.
