Chelsea are reportedly in line to soon table a new bid for Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling who is said to be a priority target this summer for Thomas Tuchel.
Sterling has emerged on the radar at Stamford Bridge in recent weeks with rumours gaining ground that City are open to the sale of their attacking player for a knockdown offer of around £45 million.
The England international’s fall down the pecking order in the Manchester City camp means that Sterling wants a chance of scenery with Chelsea positioning themselves as the prime suitors for his coveted signature before the start of the new season.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has issued a fresh claim that after their opening bid was turned down by the Premier League champions City, Chelsea are all set to test the waters with a second and improved offer to lure Sterling to west London.
Thomas Tuchel is said to be pushing for the move in question with the Chelsea manager eager to overhaul his options in the forward lineup in the summer and bolster the ranks.
