Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing former Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling ahead of the transfer deadline, according to reports.
The north London side are reportedly seriously considering a move for the 31-year-old England international, who left Chelsea by mutual agreement earlier this week.
Sterling agreed to terminate the remaining 18 months of his contract at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, after failing to make an appearance for the Blues this season.
He spent last season on loan at Arsenal, where he scored one goal and provided five assists in 28 appearances.
Tottenham Keen on Raheem Sterling
According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham view Sterling as a short-term reinforcement for their depleted attacking options.
The Lilywhites are operating without the injured Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison at the minute and have not ruled out signing another attacker before the deadline.
Thomas Frank is believed to be open to bringing Sterling in, while the player is also believed to be open to the move, as his preference is to remain in London.
Nottingham Forest have reportedly also sounded out the 31-year-old and his camp, while defending Serie A champions have also expressed interest.
Napoli president Giovanni Manna, however, said a move for Sterling would be ‘difficult’ due to his ‘significant financial expectations’, as the winger was pocketing over £300,000 a week at Stamford Bridge.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Sterling last scored a Premier League goal in May 2024, in Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Bournemouth.
Tottenham have welcomed midfielder Conor Gallagher and left-back Souza as their only two January reinforcements, while winger Brennan Johnson was sold to Crystal Palace.
The Lilywhites could see striker Randal Kolo Muani depart before Monday’s deadline, with Juventus now stepping up their efforts to sign the Frenchman.
Antonin Kinsky Set for West Ham?
Antonin Kinsky may also be on the move from North London in the final four days of the January window, with West Ham pushing towards the goalkeeper’s arrival.
According to reports, the London Stadium side have reached an agreement over personal terms with the Czech shot-stopper, with Spurs likely to seek a replacement before the deadline.
Kinsky, who joined the club 12 months ago from Slavia Prague, has made just two appearances under Thomas Frank this season, and another 10 during Ange Postecoglou’s tenure in 2024/25.
