Sterling hasn't played at all since May having been left out of the squad by now-departed manager Enzo Maresca who saw no use for the former Manchester City star who was deemed surplus to requirements.
The England international spent last season on loan at Chelsea’s London rivals Arsenal but struggled under manager Mikel Arteta who failed to get the best out of the experienced winger who can’t seem to get back to his old self.
Now, as reported by The Sun and talkSPORT, Sterling is ready to join London rivals West Ham as the Hammers aim to improve their attack which has been toothless so far this season.
West Ham United currently find themselves in the Premier League relegation zone, and many fans are worried that the team stands no chance at surviving unless January transfers are made.
The club are reportedly already set to spend upwards of £40M on two new forwards, which includes Sterling as manager Nuno Espirito Santo build a side worthy of staying up.
Sterling has been forced to train alone for the entirety of the 2025/26 season and would need time to get back to full match fitness as playing 90 minutes will be out of his reach for a several weeks.
