raheem sterling joins arsenal on transfer deadline day

arsenal manager mikel arteta has revealed why he chose not to start summer signing raheem sterling against tottenham hotspur.

england international sterling joined arsenal on loan from premier league rivals chelsea on transfer deadline day. the move came after he failed to compete with enzo maresca at stamford bridge.

sterling has a good relationship with arteta, having worked together at manchester city.

the experienced striker moved from manchester city to chelsea for £47.5 million, but the move did not go as planned and he did not live up to his price tag.

arsenal are on the lookout for a striker this summer as they need competition for bukayo saka on the right wing.

the premier league giants were heavily linked with athletic bilbao star nico williams after he shone for spain at euro 2024, but they ended up signing sterling as a cheaper alternative.
