Raheem Sterling became Chelsea's first signing since Todd Boehly's consortium bought the club on Wednesday, ending his successful seven-year spell at Manchester City. The 27-year-old forward signed a five year contract for a fee reported to be £50 million ($59 million).

"England star Raheem Sterling has joined Chelsea from Manchester City on a five-year contract," said Chelsea in a statement. Sterling had pre-empted his move earlier on Wednesday by posting a goodbye message on social media saying he left City as a "man" having arrived from Liverpool as a 20-year-old. However, once the signing became official Sterling -- who is with Chelsea on their pre-season tour of the United States -- turned his attention to what he hopes to achieve under Thomas Tuchel.
