Leeds United are pinning their hopes on Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling to help them steer clear of Premier League relegation.
The Whites have set their sights on the 31-year-old forward, who has been left out of Enzo Maresca’s squad this season.
Elland Road is a potential new home for Sterling, with Crystal Palace also vying for his signature.
Injuries have limited Daniel James’ availability for Daniel Farke this season, and with the possibility of a lengthy spell on the sidelines for the Wales international, Leeds will need to strengthen their attacking options.
Chelsea is reportedly considering various options for Sterling’s future, with a potential mutual termination at Stamford Bridge if no suitable deal can be reached.
Seen as a marquee signing for Leeds, Sterling’s wealth of Premier League experience, pace, and creativity could be a game-changer for the West Yorkshire outfit.
While it may require Leeds to stretch their wage budget, acquiring Sterling would be worth it if it means avoiding the drop to the Championship.
Sterling’s potential arrival at Elland Road could lead to exits for current squad members, with players like Willy Gnonto possibly facing reduced playing time.
The winter transfer window will pose tough decisions for Leeds as they aim to secure their top-flight status, and with Sterling’s imminent departure from Chelsea, all eyes will be on his next move.
