Raheem Sterling's Chelsea stance revealed amid Nico Williams and Saudi Arabia transfer rumours

Raheem Sterling remains committed to Chelsea despite rumours linking him with a move to Saudi Arabia in the upcoming summer transfer window, football.london understands.

The 29-year-old was said to have had plenty of interest from the Saudi Pro League last summer, but rejected the chance to move to the Middle East after an underwhelming debut season at Stamford Bridge. Sterling still finished the 2022/23 campaign as Chelsea's joint top scorer in all competitions, alongside Kai Havertz, with nine goals to his name.

This season, Sterling has played 2,668 minutes for the Blues in total, with eight goals and six assists in the process. The winger, once of Manchester City and Liverpool, still faces numerous critics amongst the Chelsea fan base.

There is said to be interest from Saudi Arabia once again as we approach the 2024 summer transfer window but as it stands, Sterling has no intention of leaving Chelsea, football.london understands. The Jamaican-born England international, who has 82 caps for the Three Lions, remains committed to the Blues' long-term project and is contracted with the club until 2027.

Only Cole Palmer (12) and Nicolas Jackson (11) have scored more goals than Sterling in all competitions for Chelsea this term. Despite this, the winger has been booed on several occasions by Chelsea supporters when coming off the pitch, something Mauricio Pochettino is confused about.

«Someone told me [that Sterling was booed against Leeds United last week] but I didn't hear it,» Pochettino said in a press conference last Friday. «I have only been here nine months, I don't understand why that happens.
