"Raheem Sterling has joined Feyenoord on a free transfer after leaving Chelsea last month. Sterling mutually agreed to terminate his contract with the Blues in January, having been left out of their squad by previous head coach Enzo Maresca. Liam Rosenior elected not to reintegrate Sterling, and the former Manchester City and Liverpool forward has now joined Feyenoord, who are second in the Eredivisie. Feyenoord, who are coached by Robin van Persie, sit second in the Dutch top flight, trailing leaders PSV by 17 points. Sterling has signed a short-term deal until the end of the season."
""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," said Sterling. "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 van Persie, 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.""
