- Sterling part of تشيلسي‘s ‘bomb squad’
- Still has two years left on his contract
- Could be offered escape route by London rivals
Sterling is back at Chelsea after failing to impress on loan at أرسنال but is one of nine players to have been brutally axed from the club’s website in a clear sign he is surplus to requirements. وست هام متحد could now be set to offer Sterling a way out of Chelsea and are keeping tabs on the winger, according to talkSPORT. Manager Graham Potter has a good relationship with Sterling which could help seal a potential deal.
Sterling is believed to prefer to stay in London if he does move on, meaning West Ham may be a good option. Fulham are also reportedly interested in Sterling as well as an unnamed دوري أبطال أوروبا club. West Ham have been active in the transfer market this summer already. Mohammed Kudus has moved on to توتنهام, but Potter has brought in Kyle Walker-Peters, Callum Wilson and El Hadji Malick Diouf.
Sterling managed just one goal for Arsenal last season in 28 appearances in all competitions for the Gunners.
Sterling will be eager to secure a transfer ahead of the start of the new الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز season. Chelsea open up their campaign against كريستال بالاس في 17 أغسطس.
