Raheem Sterling and Man City centre-back on Chelsea 'radar' plus more transfer rumours

Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling is reportedly researching what life is like at Chelsea ahead of a potential transfer to the capital this summer.

According to The Athletic, Sterling is speaking to those around him to decipher whether he would enjoy life at Stamford Bridge should he make the switch. Thomas Tuchel is thought to be an admirer of the England international and it's claimed Chelsea are lining Sterling up as a potential replacement for Romelu Lukaku in their front three.

Lukaku is expected to re-join Inter Milan on loan next season as the former United man aims to return to his goalscoring best. Sterling's deal at the Etihad expires at the end of the next campaign and his future is currently up in the air.

The 27-year-old may not be the only player from the Etihad making the switch to West London this summer. According to reports, Nathan Ake is also thought to be on Tuchel's wish-list.

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed that the Blues are looking at their former centre-back as they need to address their defence. Both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen left Chelsea this summer and Tuchel is believed to hold the Dutchman in high regard.
