Chelsea weighing up bid for Raheem Sterling: Should Thomas Tuchel make a move?

The
27-year-old
has
one
year
remaining
on
his
City
contract
and
as
it
stands
there
are
no
signs
he
will
sign
a
new
contract.

So
there’s
a
growing
feeling
that
the
27-year-old
would
opt
for
a
new
challenge
and
as
a
result,
a
number
of
top
European
sides
are
said
to
be
already
interested
in
him.
But
as
per
rumours,
it
is
English
giants
Chelsea
who
are
now
leading
the
chase
for
him.

Chelsea
are
looking
to
revamp
their
attacking
unit
after
a
struggling
campaign.
The
Stamford
Bridge
side
failed
to
push
Manchester
City
and
Liverpool
in
the
Premier
League
title
as
they
had
to
settle
for
a
third-place
finish.

Not
only
that
they
lost
both
the
domestic
cup
competition
to
Liverpool
in
the
final
in
shootouts.
With
the
new
owner
Todd
Boehly-led
consortium
embarking
on
a
new
chapter
at
Stamford
Bridge,
Chelsea
are
likely
to
spend
a
good
fortune
this
summer.
Tomas
Tuchel
as
a
result
is
reportedly
pushing
for
some
lucrative
transfer
and
the
City
attacker’s
name
is
high
on
that
list.

Sterling’s
struggle
at
Etihad
last
season

Since
his
move
to
Manchester
City
in
2015,
the
England
international
has
always
been
at
the
top
of
his
game.
His
131
goals
and
95
assists
alongside
four
Premier
League
titles
in
these
years
speak
volumes
about
his
impact.

But
over
the
past
year
or
so
he
has
struggled
to
nail
down
a
regular
starting
spot.
He
registered
17
goals
and
managed
nine
assists
in
47
matches
for
the
side
last
season
across
all
fronts.
But
apparently
often
failed
to
fulfil
the
Spanish
manager’s
demand.
Now
with
the
addition
of
Julian
Alvarez
and
Erling
Haaland,
Sterling’s
game-time
could
take
a
further
hit
in
the
upcoming
season
and
this
could
be
the
reason
for
him
seeking
a
new
route.

Should
Chelsea
sign
Sterling?

Despite
a
plethora
of
attackers
at
the
club,
the
London
giants
have
often
struggled
to
find
the
back
of
the
net.
The
arrival
of
a
proven
goal
scorer
like
Sterling
could
change
that
scenario.
Able
to
play
on
both
flank
and
through
the
middle,
Sterling
would
add
depth
and
quality
across
the
offensive
third.
Moreover,
with
Chelsea
looking
to
offload
Romelu
Lukaku
and
question
marks
remaining
over
the
future
of
Hakim
Ziyech
and
Christian
Pulisic,
a
top-quality,
proven
performer
like
him
would
be
a
great
addition.
