A Chelsea star's representatives have been forced to deny claims an agreement has been made with Al Hilal.

Authorities in Saudi Arabia continue to target players in the Premier League, with stars from Manchester City and Liverpool thought to be on their transfer wish-list.

Raheem Sterling is also wanted by Saudi Arabia, with Al Hilal reportedly keeping tabs on his situation ahead of making a move.

But, according to Ben Jacobs, intermediaries close to Sterling have denied any engagement with the Saudi Pro League side.

The 29-year-old is fully committed to Chelsea and is not looking for a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer.

Jacobs also claims that the winger has not held talks with Saudi officials about a move to the Middle East.

Sterling joined Chelsea from Manchester City in the summer of 2022 for £47.5 million, penning a five-year deal.

He scored nine goals in 38 games across all competitions in his debut campaign at the club and has eight goals to his name this season.

Despite his goal return compared to last season, former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel thinks Sterling is 'miles off it' right now.

"He’s miles off it to be honest... I think he actually started the season really well... He was playing well. He was creating chances. He was taking people on. He became the Raheem Sterling we know from before," he said.

"He did all that because he wanted to get into the England team. I think the first call up that came during the start of the season his name wasn’t there.

"That took a lot of his confidence I would say. After that he just went, his head just went..."

Mikel added: "Since then I haven’t seen the Raheem Sterling that started the season. He’s been a shadow of himself.

"I think he still has a lot to offer. Is it at Chelsea or somewhere else? We have to decide at the end of the season."
