Arsenal Reportedly Eye Last-Minute Move for Raheem Sterling

In a surprising turn of events during the final stages of the transfer window, Arsenal is reportedly considering a late move for Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling. According to sources, the Gunners are keen to bolster their attacking options as they push for a strong Premier League campaign, and Sterling has emerged as a potential target.

The 29-year-old England international, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2022, has had a mixed spell at Stamford Bridge. Despite showing flashes of brilliance, Sterling’s performances have been inconsistent, and Chelsea’s current rebuild under manager Mauricio Pochettino could see the club willing to listen to offers for the winger.

Arsenal, under the management of Mikel Arteta, has been active in the transfer market this summer, bringing in the likes of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber. However, with Gabriel Jesus facing injury issues and the need for additional attacking depth, Sterling’s experience and versatility make him an attractive option for the North London club.

Sterling’s potential move to Arsenal would reunite him with Arteta, who was part of the coaching staff at Manchester City during Sterling’s highly successful spell at the Etihad Stadium. Arteta is well aware of Sterling’s capabilities and could be interested in reigniting the winger’s form in a new environment.

The financial aspects of the deal and Chelsea’s willingness to part with Sterling will be key factors in whether this transfer materializes. With the clock ticking down to the transfer deadline, Arsenal fans will be eagerly watching for any developments.
