West Ham in Talks With Chelsea Over Raheem Sterling Loan

Chelsea are said to be ready to cover most of the 31-year-old’s reported £325,000-a-week wages to facilitate a January exit after a season on the sidelines.

Overview

  • West Ham are in discussions with Chelsea about taking Sterling on loan, according to Hammers insider ExWHUemployee reported by Yahoo Sports.
  • Reports indicate Chelsea are prepared to subsidise the majority of his salary, echoing last season’s Arsenal loan in which the Gunners covered about 30% of his pay.
  • Sterling has not featured this season after being deemed surplus to requirements by head coach Enzo Maresca.
  • Fulham remain interested in the winger, with prior reporting suggesting a preference to remain in London could shape his options.
  • The England international is under contract at Chelsea until June 2027, with his wages cited as a key hurdle for potential suitors.
