Tottenham linked with free-agent Raheem Sterling could immediately boost their attack; punters may back Spurs to score over 1.5 goals in matches after his arrival or consider Sterling in anytime-scorer/assist markets if he starts regularly — a low-cost signing that would likely shorten Tottenham’s odds for wins in the short term.
Tottenham urged to sign Raheem Sterling as attacking injuries bite
Spurs facing attacking crisis
Tottenham Hotspur are struggling for firepower after a string of injuries to key attackers. Mohammed Kudus, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are all sidelined, leaving the north London side thin across the front three. The squad patched midfield and defence in January, but the attack remains a clear worry as Tottenham look to arrest a patchy run of form.
Paul Merson backs a free transfer move
Former England international Paul Merson has urged Spurs to pursue Raheem Sterling, who is available after terminating his Chelsea contract.
Merson described Sterling as a sensible, low-risk option who can operate across the forward line, create chances and add goals — qualities Tottenham urgently need.
“They need players in… I would bring Sterling in. I think it’s a no-brainer on a free transfer,” he said.
Why Sterling fits the brief
Sterling offers versatility, experience in the Premier League and a proven goal threat from wide or inside positions. With Tottenham missing creative midfielders and wingers, a player comfortable across the front three could help unlock defenses and relieve pressure on the club’s injured stars. If wage demands are reasonable, the move makes financial and footballing sense.
Potential impact on results and betting markets
A Sterling arrival would likely shift expectations for Spurs’ attacking output. Expect bookmakers to shorten markets on Tottenham scoring totals and match-winner odds in the short term. For punters, sensible plays could include backing Tottenham to score over 1.5 goals in upcoming fixtures or adding Sterling to anytime-scorer and assist markets if he secures regular starts.
Outlook and next steps
Tottenham need one or two reinforcements to stabilize their season and get key players fit. Securing an experienced, adaptable attacker on a free transfer would be an efficient way to plug the gap and provide immediate competition and cover.
The club will have to weigh Sterling’s recent form and motivation against the clear short-term benefits he could offer.
Tottenham Hotspur are struggling with injury issues in the attacking unit, and they have been advised to sign Raheem Sterling on a free transfer.
The England International recently terminated his contract with Chelsea, and Paul Merson believes that Tottenham should sign him.
