  • Bournemouth and clubs in the Championship are keen to sign Dujon Sterling
  • The 18-year-old full back signed a contract until summer of 2022 in October
  • The Cherries are hopeful of signing Sterling on a loan deal after opening talks 

Bournemouth want to take Chelsea teenager Dujon Sterling on loan in January with the south coast club waiting for Antonio Conte to give the green light.

The two Premier League clubs have been in talks over 18-year-old Sterling while there are also suitors from the Championship interested in the full back.

Sterling signed a contract with Chelsea in October which runs until 2022 so the English champions are expected to have no issues with sending him to the Vitality Stadium to gain experience.

Nathan Ake was sent on loan to Bournemouth last season before being recalled by Chelsea, who then subsequently sold him to the Cherries for £20million.


The starlet is behind Victor Moses and Davide Zappacosta in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge but wants game time.

Sterling appeared as a substitute in Chelsea’s Carabao Cup 5-1 win over Nottingham Forest in September and was on the bench for their 2-1 win over Bournemouth on Wednesday.
