Eagles hold interest in Sterling

Crystal Palace are one of the teams interested in signing Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling before next week's transfer deadline.

Sterling has been told that he can leave Stamford Bridge by manager Enzo Maresca and is training away from the main squad.

A deal for the 29-year-old England international to join Palace would need an agreement to be reached on finances and be right for the Eagles, bearing in mind the potential cost of the transfer including fee and wages.

Sterling has made 81 appearances for Chelsea since joining from Manchester City for £50m in July 2022.
