Raheem Sterling finalises personal terms after Everton transfer talks
Everton have been locked in talks to sign Raheem Sterling.
Sterling had been outcast at Stamford Bridge under several managers, with another move finally close for the England international in February.
After spending a season at Arsenal on loan last season, another Premier League spell was deemed unlikely after failing at another club.
But his next move is now set to be finalised.
Raheem Sterling agrees transfer after Everton talks
Sterling is now set to join Feyenoord, according to Jack Rosser.
The journalist has reported that Everton did hold talks with the winger, as well as several others and their managers ahead of a final decision.

Sterling will now move to Rotterdam until the end of the season after tearing up his Chelsea contract last month.
Raheem Sterling leaves Premier League as legend, but he doesn’t have it anymore
Not many have the catalogue of success that Sterling has in England.
Four Premier League titles alone are a huge success, but add to that seven domestic cups with Manchester City, and it proves his pedigree even further.
With 123 Premier League goals scored, there is no doubt that he is leaving a great.
But, it must be said that Everton have dodged a bullet.
Everton signed Tyrique George from Chelsea on deadline day, and the up-and-coming English winger will be looking for similar success in his career.
It’s been a positive start to life for him on Merseyside too, with more to come, and if he gets anywhere close to the numbers of Sterling, he’s been incredible value.
Moyes has worked wonders with experienced players at the Hill Dickinson Stadium; just look at the success of Jack Grealish.
Grealish has now been ruled out for the season after surgery, but Sterling certainly isn’t the answer to come in and try to replace that impact.
Feyenoord sounds just about right for where he is in his career.
