Raheem Sterling is flying out to the United States to link up with Chelsea ahead of his switch from Manchester City.

The England forward has agreed a five-year contract to join Thomas Tuchel's side in a £50m deal.

BBC reports that Sterling, 27, could be available for Chelsea's clash with Club America in Las Vegas on Saturday.

The Blues then face Charlotte FC in Charlotte on Wednesday, 20 July before taking on Arsenal in Orlando on 23 July.

Sterling has one year left on his contract at City, who he joined from Liverpool in 2015.
