Raheem Sterling has joined Arsenal on a season-long loan from Chelsea after the Gunners made the big decision to make a move for the former Manchester City winger on deadline day
After being dropped by Enzo Maresca for the opening game of the season against Man City, then having his shirt number taken off him and then dropped from the squad completely – there has been alot of speculation about Sterling.
At one point he looked set for a move to Saudi Arabia – but turned that down as he wanted to stay in the Premier League, which led to reports that Manchester United were working on a deal for the striker, but they opted against a move.
Then news broke on deadline day that Arsenal were working on a deal to sign the winger and after a few hours of rumours and talks – it was announced by the Gunners that Sterling has joined the club on loan for the season.
ARSENAL posted: ‘The 29-year-old winger arrives at the club having won every domestic honour, including four Premier League titles and five Football League Cups. He has made 379 appearances in the top flight, scoring 123 goals and assisting 63 times.
‘Raheem began his youth career at QPR before moving to Liverpool’s academy. He went on to establish himself as a first-team player, making his senior debut in 2012 and earning his first England cap the same year. He then moved to Manchester City in 2015, winning all of his Premier League titles during his seven years with the club as well as the EFL Cup five times, the FA Cup and Community Shield, before joining Chelsea in 2022.
‘Raheem’s individual honours include being named FWA Footballer of the Year in 2018/19, and he was voted into the PFA’s Team of the Year at the end of the same season.
‘Raheem has been capped 82 times by England – only 16 players have made more appearances for the men’s team – and was a key man for his country as they finished runners-up at Euro 2020.
‘Everyone at ARSENAL welcomes Raheem to the club.
‘The transfer is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.’
