Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling has long been linked with a move to Chelsea, and Fabrizio Romano has reported that City have provided the final approval for the move to go through.

Acccording to ESPN sources, the England international is expected to move for a figure in the region of £45 million, plus add-ons, and will become the Blues’ highest-paid player.
