Liverpool fans are looking shocked and slightly worried here in the Football Transfer Tavern as Metro seem to think Chelsea are eyeing a shock move for one of their key players.
After seeing the Blues land £50 million man Fernando Torres in a January transfer window of yesteryear, we know that anything is possible.
Given Sterling has rejected Liverpool’s second offer to extend his contract at Anfield, the Reds could well panic if Jose Mourinho decides to make his interest public.
Given how well Sterling performed against Chelsea during the first leg of the Capital One Cup semi-final last week, not to mention the fact that the West London club are struggling to complete the signing of Juan Cuadrado, we think that there may well be more to rumours than paper talk alone.
That said, Brendan Rodgers will certainly do all in his power to hold onto the shining light of his otherwise drab season.
