Raheem Sterling sent a heart warming message to his team mates

Raheem Sterling has posted a heartfelt message to Manchester City supporters and staff ahead of his imminent move to Chelsea.

According to Daily Flash the 27-year-old is set to become the first signing of the Todd Boehly era at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are believed to be paying up to £55 million for the forward.

Sterling has scored 131 times in 339 appearances for the Citizens following his 2015 move from Liverpool, while also winning four Premier League titles. 

The English man posted on social media saying;

"Seven seasons. Eleven major trophies. A lifetime of memories. To the coaching staff who have played a massive role in my development over the years, to my team-mates who have become more than just those I share a pitch with, to the backroom staff, to the office staff, to the fans who have tirelessly supported the team, and to everyone associated with Manchester City, my respect for you couldn't be greater. What a ride it's been. I am thankful for the ups and downs, as it's the downs that have, at times, have tested my strength and resolve, and enabled me to stand here in front of you as the best possible version of myself. I arrived in Manchester a 20-year-old. Today, I leave as a man. Thank you for your endless support. It's been an honour to wear the shirt of Manchester City."
