# Rival raid: 68% of polled Chelsea fans want title-winner to be brought to Stamford Bridge

**Chelsea’s summer was slow to get going, but towards the end of the summer, the club really started to show some ambition. With a big move for Kepa Arrizabalaga and a loan deal for Mateo Kovacic, it’s clear that the Blues have their sights set very high this season.**

It would make sense for them, then, to continue building on that in January, [and we recently made the case for the Blues landing Englishman Raheem Sterling from Man City.](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/chelsea-should-take-advantage-of-contract-situation-to-sign-raheem-sterling/)

Sterling is yet to sign a new deal, [and according to Sky Sports, Pep Guardiola is eager to source a solution after he recently went public by proclaiming how highly valued Sterling is at the Etihad.](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11679/11471399/pep-guardiola-seeking-resolution-to-raheem-sterling-contract-talks-at-manchester-city)

It seems clear that, at present, City aren’t offering Sterling exactly what he wants, and whilst there is no suggestion that he’ll leave the club, it’s a situation that Chelsea should be keeping note of.

Whilst, again, Chelsea would be foolish to be preparing a move for Sterling in the current context, it’s a situation that could quickly change, and Sterling is a player that fans would like to see at Stamford Bridge, it seems.

We recently asked Chelsea supporters whether they’d like to see Sterling move to the club, and 68% voted in favour of a move, whilst just 32% were against the idea.

Obviously, given his ties to Man City and Liverpool, it’s no surprise that some fans are against the prospect of a move, but it appears as though most recognise his talents.

He bagged a stunning 18 league goals last season, and he was hugely influential on the right-hand side of the attack, a position in which the Blues have lacked quality in recent years.

No matter how tough a move would be, many Chelsea fans clearly want to see their club take advantage of his situation if an opportunity arises.
