Sterling to Arsenal, now that's what I call a transfer. They made a very good signing on a one-year loan from Chelsea. The forward area has strengthened, the squad depth has increased. Sterling previously worked with Arteta at Manchester City, now they are together in Arsenal again. He'll be a huge asset for Arsenal this season. The management did the right thing on the last transfer day.
Yes. The English midfielder promises to be a quality addition to Arsenal. Sterling has the experience and understanding to suit the Gunners' complex tactics, as it is very similar to Man City's style of play. One of the things that makes Raheem Sterling an ideal signing for Arsenal is his versatility. He can play on either wing and even as a centec-forward if required. Under coach Pochettino, Sterling was a regular starter but things turned around when Pochettino left Chelsea and Enzo Maresca became the new captain of the team.
Sterling, meanwhile, wants to leave Stamford Bridge quickly after being dropped from the first team by coach Enzo Maresca. Letting Sterling leave will help Chelsea reduce the financial burden. Sterling is likely to agree to take a pay cut to join Arsenal - with the Gunners unlikely to pay more than £150,000-a-week.
Realistically speaking, Sterling has a solid record. 379 games with 186 G/A. These are solid numbers. Better than some strikers.
Before now, Arsenal were linked to both Coman and Sterling. I think Sterling was a better option than Coman and now Arsenal have gotten Sterling for almost nothing (just part payment of salary and no buy option) and we know Arteta doesn't trust Nelson, so they might have done a very good deal.
Arteta is close to Sterling. He knows him more. Chelsea is clearly toxic. If Arsenal can get prime Raheem Sterling, then they will eat good.
Arteta just gave Sterling a lifeline. I hope he repays him in full with outstanding performances through the season.
