Sterling handed warning by Van Persie after another poor display

Raheem Sterling’s underwhelming start to life in the Eredivisie reached a new low during a disappointing De Klassieker appearance against Ajax. The former England international struggled to impact the game before being substituted early in the second half, prompting a stern reality check from his manager. Robin van Persie has now warned the veteran forward that his fitness and on-field contributions must align quickly to aid Feyenoord's pursuit of Champions League football.

Sterling eyes 'old level' despite only lasting 63 mins on first Feyenoord start

Raheem Sterling made his first start for Feyenoord on Sunday, but the evening ended with mixed emotions for the England international. After two prior appearances as a substitute, the former Manchester City and Chelsea winger was named in the starting XI for the Eredivisie clash against NAC Breda, lasting just over an hour before being withdrawn. Despite the restricted minutes, Sterling is adamant that his physical condition is rapidly improving as he seeks to rediscover his best form in Rotterdam.

Fulham reportedly submit new $38m Pepi bid to PSV

Fulham have reportedly made another bid for U.S. men's national team forward Ricardo Pepi, who continues to draw interest despite a recent arm injury. The bid is not Fulham's first for the PSV star but, to date, the Dutch club has been open about its desire to keep hold of the striker. Pepi has been radar for Premier League clubs for quite some time.

Sources: Prem clubs still interested in Pepi following Fulham bid

Fulham have made a $35 million (€30 million) offer for U.S. men's national team star Ricardo Pepi, GOAL can confirm, and, despite seeing that bid rejected, several English clubs remain interested in the forward. The offer comes despite Pepi's recent arm injury, which hasn't prevented Premier League clubs from making a push to sign the striker this January.
