Raheem Sterling Joins Arsenal On Deadline Day Loan.
In a dramatic late transfer move, Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling has completed a season-long loan to Premier League rivals Arsenal. The 29-year-old England international, who has been informed by Chelsea’s new manager Enzo Maresca that he is not part of the club’s plans, has made the switch to Mikel Arteta’s side.
Sterling, who has scored 19 goals in 81 appearances for Chelsea since his £50 million transfer from Manchester City in July 2022, expressed his excitement about the move. “It’s an unbelievable feeling. It’s really exciting,” said Sterling. “The move was left late, but it’s one I was hoping for. Looking at everything, I’m just, like, ‘This is a perfect fit for me,’ and I’m super happy that we got it over the line.”
This move comes after Chelsea’s co-controlling owners, Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly, have been actively reshaping the squad, with Sterling being one of the first signings during their tenure. Now, Sterling looks forward to contributing to Arsenal’s ambitions this season under Arteta’s leadership.
