EKO HOT BLOG reports that Raheem Sterling is closing in on a switch to Chelsea with Thomas Tuchel’s side holding fresh talks with Manchester City.

No fee has yet been agreed for the England ace – but talks are believed to have progressed well over the weekend.

SunSport exclusively revealed last month how City know they are facing a losing battle to keep the 27-year-old.

Chelsea have ramped up their pursuit of the ex-Liverpool ace with top target Raphinha determined to link up with Barcelona instead.

The Citizens are keen to top the £45million fee they are receiving from Arsenal for Gabriel Jesus if they are to allow Sterling to move to Stamford Bridge.
