West Ham United want Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling | OneFootball

West Ham United are interested in signing Chelsea attacking midfielder Raheem Sterling this summer, according to talkSPORT.

Manager Graham Potter wants a reunion with the England international at the London Stadium after working with him at Chelsea.

Sterling is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and is set to leave again after spending last term on loan at Arsenal.

The Hammers are now looking to do a deal for the 30-year-old as they look to bolster their options on the wings after selling Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham Hotspur.

Sterling has two more years left on his current Chelsea deal, and it is unknown whether West Ham want to sign him permanently or on loan.

He currently earns £325,000 per week, which would prove too much for the Hammers unless he agrees to lower his demands.

Arsenal paid around 30 percent (£97,500) of his wages last season during his loan spell and a similar deal could work for West Ham.

He ended up with a goal and five assists in 28 appearances for the Gunners, but Potter appears convinced he can get him firing on all cylinders again.

Sterling notched ten goals and 11 assists in 43 games for the Blues in 2023-24 after ending the previous season with nine goals and four assists in 38 games.

He was one of the best attackers in the land while at Manchester City, bagging 131 goals and 86 assists in 331 appearances.

The former Liverpool winger has four Premier League titles, one FA Cup and five League Cups to his name, and West Ham could do with such a winner in their squad.

They are not the only club keen on signing him, with Fulham and Crystal Palace also eyeing a move, while Juventus want to lure him away from England.
