West Ham United are in talks with Chelsea over a loan move for Raheem Sterling, according to ExWHUemployee.
Manager Nuno Espirito Santo wanted to take Sterling to Nottingham Forest in the summer and remains keen on working with him.
The 31-year-old, who won four Premier League titles at Manchester City, currently earns £325,000 per week, but Chelsea are prepared to pay most of it if he leaves.
Arsenal paid just 30 percent (£97,500) out of his weekly wages for the period of his season-long loan from Chelsea last season, and West Ham could secure a similar deal.
The Blues ended up paying £12 million of his yearly £17m wages, while Arsenal parted with just £5m in wages and zero loan fees.
If Chelsea agree to cover most of his wages, the Hammers could pay around £2.5m if a deal for Sterling gets over the line.
It could prove to be a smart move as they look to retain their Premier League status at the end of the season.
Sterling has plenty to prove, and a move to West Ham could get the best out of him if he finds his rhythm again.
He bagged just one goal and five assists in 28 appearances for Arsenal last term, but it seems the Hammers are ready to take a punt on him.
West Ham wanted him in the summer as former manager Graham Potter eyed a reunion, and he could finally move during the ongoing winter transfer window.
