Does Chelsea confirm Sterling's replacement?

In a separate report from Football London, Chelsea is considering the possibility of Sterling leaving the club. The England forward is thought to be one of the players who might exit Stamford Bridge this summer. If Sterling is sold, Crystal Palace forward, Eberechi Eze, is anticipated to be a key target for the club.

Chelsea unveil target for Maresca

In another report, Legit.ng reported that after being named the club’s new manager, Maresca has been tasked with restoring Chelsea to its glory days.

The Italian coach, renowned for his successful stint at Leicester City where he won the English Championship, takes over following Mauricio Pochettino's departure.

Chelsea's decision to replace the highly experienced Pochettino with the less seasoned Maresca has sparked considerable discussion.
