TalkSPORT: Surprise third Premier League club enter race for Chelsea ace valued at £20m | OneFootball

West Ham have entered the race to sign forgotten Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling this summer according to reports.

Sterling is one of a number of players the Blues are looking to offload this summer, although he’s likely to be one of the more difficult ones to find a new solution for.

The 30-year-old’s career has been on a steady decline since he joined Chelsea from Manchester City for £50m in 2022.

West Ham enter race for Raheem Sterling

Sterling has had a difficult time at Stamford Bridge and was even booed by Chelsea supporters during the 2023/2024 season.

Enzo Maresca made it clear the England international wasn’t part of his plans, and Sterling completed a deadline day loan move to rivals Arsenal last summer, but scored just once in 28 appearances for the Gunners.

Sterling has since returned to Chelsea and is training with a group of players the Blues are looking to sell, but he is attracting interest from clubs.

Chelsea are thought to want around £20m for Sterling, who has reportedly also been offered to Italian Champions Napoli.

However, there appears to be growing interest from the Premier League, and talkSPORT have reported West Ham have joined the race.

The report adds Fulham and Crystal Palace have interest, as well as Juventus, whilst Sterling’s preference would be to stay in London.

Sterling has two years left on his contract, and more important than any transfer fee is getting his reported wages of over £300,000 per week off the books.

No suitors for Ben Chilwell

Whilst Sterling appears to be attracting interest from clubs, the same can’t be said for another of Chelsea’s top earners Ben Chilwell.

Chelsea are desperate to offload Chilwell, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Crystal Palace where he won the FA Cup.

Chilwell is reportedly earning around £200,000 per week, but as of yet no suitors have emerged for the 28-year-old, and Chelsea could face a difficult task offloading the left back.
