Tottenham Hotspur was one of three London clubs, along with Fulham and West Ham United, that showed concrete interest in English winger Raheem Sterling. The player also held discussions with Juventus and Napoli. Citing its own sources, BBC Sport stated that around 18 clubs in England and the rest of Europe had expressed interest in the 31-year-old. He ultimately joined Feyenoord on a free transfer. His last completed transfer with a fee was from Manchester City to Chelsea in July 2022 for a reported €56.2 million. In mid-2025, Chelsea's asking price was reported to be around £20 million, and his Transfermarkt market value was listed at €5.00m in February 2026.
