Raheem Sterling to Arsenal has been the big story of this transfer deadline day.

ꦇThis deal has been off and on more times than a lightswitch today, and heading into the final hours of this transfer window, Sterling’s situation is still unclear.

Speaking on (30/8/24 7:45PM), Kaveh Solhekol has shared what he’s now heard about Sterling’s potential move to Arsenal.

♚According to the journalist a senior source has now told him that Arsenal are still in the race for Sterling.

Arsenal still in Raheem Sterling race

🎃Solhekol shared what he’s been told about Sterling.

💦“We’ve been saying all day, maybe Arsenal in for him. maybe Arsenal are not in for him,” Solhekol said.

🔥“I put the question to someone I was speaking to, someone pretty senior. I said are Arsenal still in the race, they said to me yes. That doesn’t mean that they’re definitely in the race to sign him, but that is from one source who should know what they’re talking about.”

Raheem Sterling could move

ꦯRaheem Sterling could be the big mover in the final hours of this transfer window.

๊The winger clearly isn’t wanted at Chelsea anymore, and if he has any ambitions of playing football before January, he has to get this move.

♑Arsenal is a great landing spot for Sterling. The Gunners are title contenders this season, while the player himself already knows Mikel Arteta from his time at Manchester City.

🌟Of course, whether or not a deal gets done remains to be seen, but the fact that a senior source is confirming Arsenal’s interest this late in the day is a good sign.

🙈Arsenal need some attacking reinforcements before 11PM, and Sterling could be just the man they need.

Sterling’s situation could go down to the wire𒅌, and this may be one that runs late into the night as Arsenal look to get this deal done.
