Tottenham have been advised to pursue a free transfer swoop for Raheem Sterling after his release from Chelsea was officially announced yesterday. The former Liverpool and Manchester City winger is now available as a free agent and one imagines there'll be plenty of big clubs tempted to make a move for him, at least on a short-term deal. That's what former Spurs midfielder Jamie O'Hara would like to see his old club do, with the pundit telling talkSPORT he thinks Sterling is still better than the club's current attacking options. O'Hara hopes Sterling would be open to a short-term deal, perhaps until the end of the season, and that he could surely do a job for Tottenham in that time.

I'm sure there will be talks held between Robertson and Liverpool to see if they can try and sort out a new contract, but the longer it drags on, there's no new deal agreed. It obviously opens up to the possibility that he could potentially sign a pre-contract in January or leave on a free transfer next summer, bit like his close mate Trent Alexander-Arnold did when he got the opportunity to move to Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid keen on Andrew Robertson According to a report from Fichajes, Atletico Madrid are interested in securing his signature. He will be a free agent at the end of this season, and they are hoping to sign him on a free transfer. They will be able to secure a pre-contract agreement with the defender during the January transfer window. It will be interesting to see if the Scottish International is willing to move to Spain.

According to Sky Sports News (via GiveMeSport), Wolves have entered into contract negotiations with Josh Brownhill, who remains a free agent after leaving Burnley at the start of July when his deal at Turf Moor expired. Brownhill, who was pursued by West Ham earlier in the summer, has also attracted strong interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab, who are willing to pay him in excess of 100k-a-week.

Victor Lindelöf is in talks with Fiorentina over a free agent move to link-up with former Manchester United teammate David de Gea at the Serie A club, sources have told ESPN. The Sweden defender, who joined United in a £31 million ($41.8m) move from Benfica in 2017, has been without a club since leaving Old Trafford at the end of last season following the expiry of his contract.

I'm really excited. It feels like it has been a long time coming - I've been linked with a move to the club in the past - and I'm just happy to be here now.
