Chelsea are apparently planning to sign both Raheem Sterling and Ousmane Dembele this summer, rather than bringing Sterling in as a replacement.

According to football.london, Chelsea will seek Sterling and Dembele, to take advantage of Sterling's contract problems at Manchester City.

They've already had a £21 million upfront bid for Sterling rejected.

After falling down the pecking order at the Etihad last season, the England forward has just one year left on his contract in the north west and could jump at the chance to go.

Dembele's contract with Barcelona is about to expire, so he'll be available for free.

Earlier in his career, the Frenchman worked under Thomas Tuchel at Borussia Dortmund.
