Former Chelsea and Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling will join Feyenoord until the end of the season.
Sterling has been out of action for almost a year since ending his loan at Arsenal. Sterling, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City, fell out of favor with former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca and had to terminate his contract this January, with 18 months still left on his contract.
Sterling has been in the news before and after terminating his contract with reports linking him with moves to West Ham and Juventus. Sterling also mentioned that he would hope to remain in London because of his child.
However, the Englishman will not be in London till the end of the season as he has signed a deal with Dutch giants Feyenoord till the end of the season.

Speaking on his move, Sterling said: “As a free agent, I’ve had, for the first time in a long time, the opportunity to control the next step,” he said.
“In my career. I wanted to take my time to speak with clubs and their head coaches to better understand the role they envisioned for me and ensure that I can add real value in this next chapter.
“Having spoken in great detail with Robin, I’m confident that Feyenoord is a place I can be happy and establish myself as a valued member of the team. Playing abroad is a whole new challenge for me – and one I’m ready to embrace. Honestly, I’m just excited to get started.”
Feyenoord are second in the Eredivisie,17 points behind PSV. Former Manchester United and Arsenal striker, and Feyernoord coach, said, “Naturally, it’s a fantastic feat that we’ve managed to convince a player of Raheem’s calibre to sign with us.
“His football resume speaks for itself: he’s a player whose qualities can change the outcome of a game without a doubt, and I am convinced he will turn out to be a valuable addition to the team as we work towards achieving our goals in the second half of this season.”
