Chelsea outcast set for West Ham move?

Chelsea and England international winger Raheem Sterling - who has yet to appear for the Blues so far this season - could make a surprise transfer move to struggling Premier League outfit West Ham in the next couple of weeks. The Hammers have had a dismal campaign so far and the club are seeking attacking reinforcements, with Raheem Sterling linked as a possible loan move before the close of the window.

A deal for Jorgen Strand Larsen has fallen through, as West Ham were unwilling to pay the £50 million fee for the Norwegian striker, and now Nuno's side have contacted Chelsea with regard to a deal for Sterling.

Raheem played last season on loan at Arsenal but failed to impress and returned to Stamford Bridge, where former manager Enzo Maresca informed him that he had no future at the club. Despite Maresca's departure yesterday, Sterling is not expected to play a part in any games this season in the Premier League, will be allowed to leave, and the London Stadium has been suggested as a possible next location for him.
