Former Barcelona striker, Gary Lineker, has expressed delight with Chelsea signing of Raheem Sterling from Manchester City.

Recall that on Wednesday, the Blues announced the signing of Sterling on a five-year deal worth 300,000-a-week.

Sterling becomes Chelsea’s first signing of the Todd Boehly era at Stamford Bridge. However, Lineker described the signing of Sterling by Chelsea as a hell of a signing.

Reacting, Lineker, who was the first big name to share his thoughts on Sterling joining Chelsea, wrote: “That is one hell of a signing,” he said as he retweeted Chelsea’s announcement post.

Chelsea announced the news on Twitter by posting a picture of Sterling wearing the club’s colours in the United States and writing: “A star in LA! #SterlingIsChelsea.”
