Arsenal hold late Raheem Sterling talks

According to Jacobs, Arsไenal have held late talks about a loan move to bring Raheem Sterling in on deadline day.

Arsenal have been looking for a new attacker for a while. Kingsley Coman was linked this week, but now, Sterling seems the mo🃏st likely candidate to arrive.

Of course, this deal will be complicated.

Sterling’s wages are massive, but Chelsea are apparently willing to s💝ubsidise half of Sterling’s pay packet.

Raheem Sterling the perfect late signing

As late signings on deadline day go, they don’t get much better than♐ this for Arsenal.

Sterling could be a perf🌺ect signing for 🔯the Gunners.

He’s a versatile attacking player who can play on either wing, and he k𒉰nows Mikel Arteta very well from his time at Manchester City.

Not only does he know Arteta from his time at City. Sterling has also previously played with Kai Havertz and Jorginho at Chels𓆏ea, while𝄹 Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko were his teammates at Manchester City.

Factor in that Sterling also knows the likes of Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka from his time with England, and you have to imagine it woul🐻dn’t take the Chelsea star long to settle in at Arsenal.

We’re t🧜ruly into the business end of the transfer window now, and this could be the final blockbuster move of the summer.
