Tottenham have been advised to pursue a free transfer swoop for Raheem Sterling after his release from Chelsea was officially announced yesterday. The former Liverpool and Manchester City winger is now available as a free agent and one imagines there'll be plenty of big clubs tempted to make a move for him, at least on a short-term deal. That's what former Spurs midfielder Jamie O'Hara would like to see his old club do, with the pundit telling talkSPORT he thinks Sterling is still better than the club's current attacking options. O'Hara hopes Sterling would be open to a short-term deal, perhaps until the end of the season, and that he could surely do a job for Tottenham in that time.
Some housekeeping to begin with: Lucas Paquetá ( West Ham), Oscar Bobb ( Manchester City) and Oleksandr Zinchenko ( Arsenal) also need a move, but they're not included in this list as they all look well on their way to getting it. Paquetá is expected to return to Brazil with Flamengo, Bobb looks set to join Fulham, and Zinchenko is on his way to Ajax.
West Ham United are reportedly in discussions over a potential loan move for Raheem Sterling, as the club looks to inject much-needed attacking quality into their squad for the second half of the season. According to ExWHUEmployee, the Hammers are exploring a deal that would see the Chelsea outcast arrive in east London on loan until the end of the campaign. The timing of the move is no coincidence.
He's not available for tomorrow for sure, Barcelona, for sure, Arsenal, for sure. Unfortunately he had an accident at home two days ago and he hit his toe. It's nothing important, but for sure he's not back next week. We don't know (how much longer he'll be out). The only thing we know is that he's not available for this week, next week. It can happen. I wake up many times during the night to go to the toilet. I hit my head, my legs, my everything, so it can happen.
Burglars broke into England forward Raheem Sterling's house while he and his family were at home on Saturday. They were not harmed during the break-in, which took place shortly before Sterling's Chelsea played Wolves in the Premier League. Sterling, who has not featured for the Blues this season, was at home in Berkshire with partner Paige Milian and their children, having not been named in the squad.
