- Raheem Sterling is now 9/4 to join Tottenham, according to Bet365
- The winger hasnāt played a game in over eight months and has trained alone since summer
- A London move remains likely, with Spurs, Fulham and West Ham all in the frame
Raheem Sterlingās future at Chelsea looks increasingly bleak, with bookmakers now offering odds on his next club as speculation intensifies.
The 31-year-old winger has been out of favour at Stamford Bridge for much of the season, and after eight months without playing, it looks like an exit could come before the end of the January transfer window.
Betting sites are tipping Tottenham as the most likely destination, with odds slashed to 9/4 for the North London club to land the England international.
Spurs are said to be considering late-window attacking reinforcements and Sterlingās desire to stay in London for family reasons makes them an appealing option.
Exiled and Earning: The Situation at Chelsea
Sterling has been in limbo at Chelsea since the summer, when he was reportedly excluded from first-team activities and placed on an individual training plan.
Despite being one of the clubās most experienced players, he has not featured in a matchday squad this season.
With a salary of Ā£325,000 per week and 18 months left on his contract, the Blues are in a difficult position.
Sources have suggested a mutual termination could be on the cards if a move canāt be agreed, allowing him to leave on a free transfer.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are continuing to reshape their squad under their sporting directors and could be open to loan or permanent offers that ease the wage bill.
Tottenham in the Lead But Can a Deal Be Done?
Tottenhamās 9/4 price reflects both opportunity and hesitation.
With injuries to wide options and their ambitions for a top-four finish still very much alive, Sterling could offer Premier League-proven experience in the final third.
But his lack of recent playing time, high wages, and need for a structured reintegration make this a complex deal to finalise in the few remaining days of the window.
What the expert says...
Fulham, West Ham and Napoli Linger
Fulham (5/1) and West Ham (6/1) both provide London-based options, though neither have made a formal approach as of now.
Fulham were previously linked with a loan move but may now look elsewhere with time running out.
Napoli, currently undergoing a squad transition of their own, are a surprise entry in the betting at 6/1.
Sterling's European experience would add to their squad depth but the player's preference to stay in the UK could be a stumbling block.
