Raheem Sterling completes shock move to Robin van Persie's Feyenoord

Former Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling has officially signed with Feyenoord for the remainder of the 2025/26 campaign. The experienced player recently became a free agent following his January release from Chelsea, where he failed to feature once during this season. Sterling expressed satisfaction regarding his autonomy in selecting a new club, stating that he carefully deliberated over potential destinations. After extensive discussions with CEO Dennis te Kloese and manager Robin van Persie, the Jamaican-English forward feels assured that Rotterdam is the ideal environment to revitalize his career and contribute significantly.

This high-profile arrival comes at a crucial moment for Van Persie’s squad. Although they currently sit second in the Eredivisie standings, trailing dominant leaders PSV by seventeen points, the team has endured a difficult period since October, securing victory in only six of their previous nineteen matches across various competitions. Sterling hopes to help reverse this slump starting immediately.
