Raheem Sterling will wear the Arsenal shirt according to information from Ben Jacobs and will be fundamental in Mikel Arteta’s scheme to reinforce the already dangerous attack of the Gunners and fight for a place with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.
Enzo Maresca made it clear that he was not counting on Sterling for the current season, the winger is not to the liking of the new Blues coach and if he stays, he would have to settle for the bench, something the player was not happy with.
After several rumours and doubts about his future, the last hours of the transfer market have placed Raheem in another London destination that could use a striker with these abilities: Arsenal. The Gunners will have the fourth player with the most goal involvements in the Premier League since 2012.
