  Chelsea have an alternative to Raheem Stirling that could save Thomas Tuchel £35m . Chelsea have more accessible options, but they are closely linked to Raheem Sterling... Chelsea have been heavily linked with a £35million move for Manchester City star Raheem Sterling this week, with the club set to make a bid for the England hero given that the winger has just one year left on his contract.

Despite his exploits for City in recent years, which have seen the club win four of the past five Premier League titles available, he could still leave the club for pastures new ahead of the World Cup.

 OPINION Louis van Gaal advice can help Erik ten Hag transform Manchester United's transfer policy Ten Hag faces a huge task as he begins his rebuild at Old Trafford, but he's already facing up to potentially missing out on his first-choice targets. The former United boss hasn’t been shy of aiming the odd dig at the club since his departure, and his opinions seem to have gone into overdrive recently, with one of his Netherlands internationals involved in a transfer saga. Ten Hag and United though would do well to heed his warning of two years ago when Van Gaal bemoaned the way in which transfers were handled during his time at Old Trafford. “Manchester United did not have the qualities to become champions and had an outdated selection with 10 players over 30, five over 35,” Van Gaal said back in 2020. “So I told them I was going to rejuvenate and which players should come. I didn't get one of those. “Then you end up in a different segment and as a coach you have to push
