Negotiations are underway regarding Raheem Sterling, with Fulham keen to finalise a deal with Chelsea as they look to strengthen their squad for the run-in. The forward has emerged as a top transfer target in recent weeks, and the player's representatives are also believed to be involved in early discussions on personal terms. Whether a deal can be struck remains to be seen, but there is increasing optimism that the transfer could go through in the coming days. While West Ham, Crystal Palace and Napoli have shown interest, Fulham currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. In season 25/26, Fulham are only scoring 1.14 goals per game (8 in 7), below the Premier League average. Raheem Sterling would be brought in to give them more bite in the final third. Alongside this, Chelsea are said to be exploring Conrad Harder, Roger Fernandes and Ademola Lookman with Fulham likewise connected to Hayden Hackney, Mohammadjavad Hosseinnezhad and Rasmus Winther Hojlund.
