Cristiano Ronaldo move to Chelsea from Manchester United 'would tick a box' for the Blues according to Paul Merson who also believes Man City star Raheem Sterling would be a 'great signing' for Thomas Tuchel's side

Paul Merson has claimed that Chelsea's ambitious pursuits of Cristiano Ronaldo and Raheem Sterling this summer would be worthwhile options to boost the Blues frontline.

The Blues have struggled in recent seasons to find a main striker following successive summers that have been big name arrivals such as Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku struggle to settle despite costing over a combined £150million.

Werner continues to hover around the first team following two years at the club after his £53million move from RB Leipzig, while Lukaku is now back at Inter Milan on loan despite signing from the Serie A side for £98million a year ago.
