Fulham are in talks with Raheem Sterling over a potential move to Craven Cottage, according to [Four Four Two’s Joe Donohue](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/raheem-sterling-in-talks-to-join-fifth-premier-league-club-as-chelsea-plot-ex-liverpool-mans-exit).
The 30 year-old England international is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and struggled during a loan spell with Arsenal next season – but any deal is contingent on the Blues taking a huge financial hit. Fulham are eager to supplement Marco Silva’s attacking resources this summer but have so far failed to make any new acquisitions apart from 34 year-old goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte.
While Chelsea would prefer a straight sale of the former Liverpool and Manchester City winger, Fulham are looking for a loan deal – or a cheaper sale later in the window. Sterling would be keen to remain in London and Silva appreciates his versatility and experience, but it remains to be seen whether a deal can be done.
