Post: Crystal Palace, West Ham, and Fulham are all paying attention to Sterling, high salaries of players are the obstacles

August 6 According to the Daily Mail, the three Premier League teams, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Fulham, are closely following Sterling's transfer trends, but the high salary of players is a big obstacle.

The Post pointed out that London-wide club Fulham, Crystal Palace in South London, and West Ham United, coached by former Chelsea coach Porter, are all paying attention to Sterling. Sterling hopes to stay in London to facilitate care for young children, so these three clubs are all feasible options.

The Post reported last month that Chelsea had recommended Sterling to Serie A champion Napoli, but the player himself was obviously more inclined to stay in the Premier League. However, his weekly salary of up to £325,000 has become the biggest obstacle to transfer.

It is reported that Sterling is no longer in Maresca's plan, and it is almost certain that Sterling will leave Chelsea in the transfer window. In the summer of 2022, Sterling joined the Blues with a transfer fee of £47.5 million. However, Sterling has been in a sluggish state in the past few seasons and has not been reused by Pochettino and Maresca. She was loaned to Arsenal last season and performed equally poorly.
