Chelsea came from behind to beat London rivals West Ham United 5-1 in the Premier League on Friday night.
Lucas Paqueta had put the Hammers in front with a stunning strike at The London Stadium, before new signing Joao Pedro netted his first league goal for Chelsea to draw the visitors level.
Nicolas Fullkrug then had a goal disallowed, before Pedro Neto completed the turnaround to put Enzo Maresca’s side in front for the first time.
Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah all then scored as the Blues cruised to a comfortable victory against West Ham, piling yet more pressure on ex-Chelsea boss Graham Potter.
In the wake of the game, it has emerged that one of Chelsea’s forgotten players is attracting significant interest from several clubs.
According to CaughtOffside, winger Raheem Sterling has emerged as a target for a number of clubs including Italian side Napoli and Turkish outfit Besiktas.

The report claims that the winger, who joined the Blues from Manchester City in 2022, is keen to stay put in London if possible.
Turkish side Besiktas are said to be sending a delegation to the capital to attempt to agree a deal for the 30-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Arsenal.
Sterling had previously played more than 330 times for City during a hugely successful spell in Manchester, but the England international has struggled to recreate his finest form since moving to Stamford Bridge.
In total he has scored 19 goals and registered 15 assists in 81 games for the West London club across all competitions, but he has fallen out o favour since the arrival of Maresca and hasn’t featured since the Italian took charge.
Sterling is under contract at Chelsea until the end of the 2026/27 season, but the report claims that he is likely to leave Stamford Bridge this month.
Fellow London sides West Ham and Fulham are both said to be keeping tabs on the winger, who has played more than 395 times in the Premier Legue over the course of his career.
