Raheem Sterling bags record Chelsea signing … Pogba faces Barca

Chelsea FC has confirmed Raheem Sterling as its star player with a record sign on fee, saley and bonuses.

The Blues smarting from long long time patron, Roman Abramovic’ forced exit seemed lost at a point only to rally excitement with Sterling’s transfer announced in a terse social media post on Wednesday.

The England international’s signing means Todd Boehly has finally made major recruitment since taking over the club from Roman Abramovich.

The 27-year-old will cost the Blues a fee believed to worth £50 million.

Sterling has signed a five-year contract worth significantly more than the £300,000 a week he was paid by City and more than £290,000 per week that N’Golo Kante earns at Stamford Bridge.

There is the option for an extension of a further season on a deal that also takes him into the Premier League’s top three earners.

The English Premier League has seem similar high level transfers including a free move by Paul Pogba from Man U back to Juventus, citing regrets along the line.
