Arsenal and Chelsea in race to sign £300,000 a-week Premier League star
According to latest reports, Arsenal and Chelsea are in the race to sign Manchester City star Raheem Sterling this summer with speculation rife that the player is going to exit the Premier League champions.
However, Sterling, 27, has been a mainstay of the City since joining them from Liverpool in 2015 for £57.3 million.
He has had yet another stellar season at the Etihad Stadium, scoring 17 goals and contributing 9 assists in 47 appearances across all competitions.
However, the English forward’s contract expires next summer and he is weighing up his options ahead of a vital summer.
According to Mirror, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are all interested in signing Sterling.
The winger is currently valued at £60 million and talks between the England international and Manchester City over a new deal have been on-going.
Sterling reportedly wants reassurances from City boss Pep Guardiola about his role in the team alongside a continuation of his current £300,000 a-week deal.
City would reportedly prefer to cash in on Sterling this summer rather than risk losing out on him on a free transfer next summer.
Since moving to City from Liverpool, Sterling has made 339 appearances across all competitions, scoring 131 goals and contributing 95 assists.
He has won four Premier League titles, an FA Cup and four League Cups.
