Trevor Sinclair has said on talkSPORT that he does not think that Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur or Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea will be able to sign Manchester City attacking midfielder Raheem Sterling in the summer transfer window.
Tottenham and Chelsea both have been linked with City star Sterling, who can also operate as a winger.

The London Evening Standard have reported that Chelsea are interested in signing the £300,000-a-week star (Spotrac).
The Mirror have claimed that Tottenham are interested in Sterling.
Former Manchester City winger Sinclair has said that he does not think that Sterling will be playing for Chelsea or Tottenham next season.
Sinclair told talkSPORT about Sterling: “I can’t see him going to a domestic rival now. Are Chelsea, are Tottenham domestic rivals? Yeah they are.
“Chelsea will always be because of the finances and the model there. Tottenham I think with the manager in place are going to be a rival.
“He’ll have to go to a Champions League rival, which is Bayern Munich, Real Madrid. All the top teams will be interested in him.”
Tottenham Hotspur over Chelsea for Raheem Sterling?
In our view, Manchester City would be more willing to sell Raheem Sterling to Tottenham Hotspur than to Chelsea.
Chelsea are one of the title challengers, and City, who won the Premier League this past season, will not want to strengthen the Blues by selling them one of their best players this summer.
Yes, Antonio Conte is now the Tottenham head coach, but the North London club are unlikely to challenge City or Liverpool for the next few years for the Premier League title.
