Where Raheem Sterling will be playing his football next season is anyone’s guess after the player returned to Stamford Bridge following a disappointing loan spell at Arsenal.

The English international is one of nine players who have been brutally axed from Chelsea’s squad and is being forced to train away from the first team at Chelsea.

Sterling has been deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea and has been linked with a move away from the club.

However, the player has expressed a desire to stay in London, and his wish could be granted if the latest news is true.

According to talkSPORT, one of Chelsea’s London rivals are eyeing up a move for Sterling in the ongoing transfer window.

West Ham United could be about to offer the winger a way out of Stamford Bridge and are keeping tabs on the winger.

Why a move to West Ham would be ideal for Raheem Sterling

West Ham manager Graham Potter is said to be a big fan of Raheem Sterling and is said to have a good working relationship with the player.

So much so that he would like to bring the player to the London Stadium during the ongoing summer transfer window.

However, Sterling might have to lower his astronomical wages in order for the move to materialise.

At West Ham, Sterling is more likely to be given a starting role for the club, and it also meets his previously mentioned requirement of staying in London.

A move to West Ham does make logical sense for Sterling, and it could represent his last opportunity to resurrect his faltering career.
