Raheem Sterling: European clubs register interest as Chelsea forward left out of Enzo Maresca's plans

The 30-year-old spent last season on loan at Arsenal, where he scored one goal in 28 appearances.

Sterling is in his second week back training with Chelsea and is waiting to see what clubs come in for him this summer.

Standard Sport understands that Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus and Napoli are among those to register an early interest.

Fulham have also been linked with the winger and that could prove an attractive option for him, if it materialises. Sterling is settled in London and his son, Thiago, is part of the Arsenal academy.

Sterling currently has two years left on his contract at Chelsea, which is reportedly worth around £300,000-a-week.

Chelsea have been busy in the transfer window this summer, with Noni Madueke leaving the club to join Arsenal as part of a deal worth £52m.

The Blues are working on bringing in reinforcements and are interested in RB Leipzig forward Xavi Simons.

Chelsea are also in talks with Ajax over a deal for defender Jorrel Hato, who has previously been scouted by Arsenal.
