Discussions underway for Raheem Sterling to join a new Premier League team, as Chelsea considers a departure for the former Liverpool player.
===============================================================================================================
Raheem Sterling, the England international, is reportedly in discussions with Fulham over a potential move to the London club this summer[1][2][3]. If the transfer materialises, it would mark the latest chapter in Sterling's illustrious Premier League career.
Sterling began his Premier League journey with Liverpool, where he honed his skills before moving to Manchester City in 2015[1]. His seven-season stint with City proved to be highly successful, as he won multiple Premier League titles and scored over 100 goals[1][4].
In July 2022, Sterling signed for Chelsea on a five-year contract[5]. However, last season saw him on loan at Arsenal, where he made a total of 28 appearances (17 in the league and 11 in other competitions), scoring just one goal[6]. His effectiveness at Arsenal has cast some doubt over his performance, but his impressive track record at Manchester City and his previous successes at Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea remain undeniable[1][6].
If the transfer to Fulham is completed, Sterling could add greater firepower to the Cottagers' attack, as they look to compete in the improving division[7]. Fulham have already made one summer signing, Benjamin Lecomte from Montpellier HSC, but fans are eager for the club to bring in more players[7].
Chelsea have removed Sterling's player biography from their official squad list, potentially indicating a change in the club's thinking about Sterling's future at Stamford Bridge[8]. This move, combined with the ongoing talks between Sterling and Fulham, suggests that a transfer may well be on the cards.
Sterling is currently under contract with Chelsea until the summer of 2027[9]. If he does join Fulham, he would become the latest club on his impressive CV, following Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal[1][5].
As of August 2025, Sterling is ranked at no.88 on a certain website's list of the greatest Premier League players of all time[10]. His potential move to Fulham, should it come to fruition, would undoubtedly be a significant boost for the club and their fans as they look to make a mark in the Premier League.

If the transfer materializes, Sterling might spearhead Fulham's attack, hoping to build a legacy in yet another premier-league team and potentially improve his standing among the greatest premier-league players of all time.
