Raheem Sterling to WEST HAM”Here We Go- After Chelsea’s humilation, player’s agents in transfer talks with West Ham with agreement set to be reached
West Ham United are unlikely to pursue a move for Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling, as reported by TBR Football.
On August 23, the outlet disclosed that Sterling’s representatives have reached out to more than half of the Premier League clubs, urgently seeking to facilitate his exit from Stamford Bridge. This comes after Sterling was notably excluded from Chelsea’s opening match against Manchester City and had his squad number removed, signaling a significant shift in his standing within the club.
While West Ham could potentially offer Sterling the chance to remain in London—a location he reportedly prefers—the Hammers are understood to have other, more pressing priorities at this time. The club’s current focus appears to be directed elsewhere, diminishing the likelihood of them making a move for the 29-year-old winger.
The turmoil at Chelsea continues to unfold, with Sterling becoming a high-profile casualty of the club’s chaotic transfer strategy under owner Todd Boehly. The 82-time England international has been relegated to the sidelines by manager Enzo Maresca, missing the first two matches of the season, which has only heightened his sense of frustration.
As reported by The Telegraph on August 22, Sterling has been left feeling “humiliated” by his treatment at Chelsea. Although Sterling has often been a polarizing figure, his current predicament seems unjust given his substantial contributions and talent. The situation at Chelsea is undeniably chaotic, and it seems ill-advised for West Ham to become entangled with a club in such disarray. Chelsea remains a London rival, and bringing in players from their squad might inadvertently benefit them rather than West Ham.
In a different scenario, Sterling would have represented a valuable signing for West Ham. However, with the recent addition of Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, the Hammers’ immediate need for Sterling has diminished. The Jamaica-born forward is clearly too talented to languish in Chelsea’s reserves. Therefore, it would be more appropriate for another club to seize the opportunity to acquire him, ensuring that his considerable skills are utilized effectively on the pitch.
