New reports have claimed that Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Manchester City's Raheem Sterling this summer.
Thomas Tuchel rates the Englishman highly and MEN Sport reported on Tuesday that Chelsea's owner Todd Boehly had made a private request to City in an attempt to speed up negotiations. Now, Caught Offside claims via Shoot say that an agreement between the two clubs has been reached, though the MEN understands that proceedings aren't finalised yet.
A precise fee which City would be receiving for Sterling is at this stage unknown. However it is understood to be significantly more than the £45m the Blues are set to gain for Gabriel Jesus.

Elsewhere, City are reportedly set to miss out on a defensive target this summer. Le Havre teenager Isaak Toure, who stands at 6ft 9in tall, was claimed to be on the Blues' radar by L’Equipe via Sport Witness a couple of weeks ago.
However, RMC Sport are reporting that Toure is in the midst of sealing a deal to Marseille instead. Toure made 17 appearances for the French second tier side last season.
