Sterling thinks he can be ‘a valued member of the team’
Raheem Sterling has signed for Feyenoord on a contract until the end of the season. The 31-old winger, capped 82 times by England, has joined as a free agent, having at the end of January terminated his contract at Chelsea – which had 18 months to run.
Sterling has not played a competitive game since the final day of last season when he was on loan at Arsenal. He endured a difficult time over the first half of this season when the then Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, banished him from the first-team squad.
Sterling said: “As a free agent, I’ve had, for the first time in a long time, the opportunity to control the next step 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.
