BREAKING NEWS: Coming live from Fabrizio Romano, deadline deal🚨 HERE WE GO! Arsenal and Chelsea agrees deal for raheem sterling as player sets for medical. The first English player to play for four top flight teams in the premier League.

David Ornstein has revealed that Arsenal are actively pursuing a loan deal for Raheem Sterling, while fellow insider Ben Jacobs indicates that the player would accept the move without hesitation. Chelsea has informed Sterling that he no longer has a future at the club, with manager Enzo Maresca bluntly stating that he does not want the forward in his squad.

This leaves Sterling, who has played 379 Premier League games, scoring 123 goals and providing 62 assists, in search of a new team. Having already played for top English clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool, there are limited options left for him within the country. Both Manchester United and Arsenal have been linked with the winger since Maresca decided to exclude him from his plans. Although earlier reports suggested that despite Mikel Arteta’s personal outreach, a move to Arsenal was unlikely, reliable sources now suggest otherwise.

According to Ornstein’s report in The Athletic, Arsenal is currently in discussions with Chelsea regarding a potential loan move for Sterling. The club is said to be actively working on securing the deal, and no issues are expected in reaching an agreement on personal terms. However, since Sterling is on a substantial wage at Chelsea, Arsenal may need to pay a loan fee, but they appear willing to consider this as a viable option.

Ben Jacobs also reports that Sterling would be enthusiastic about joining Arsenal, particularly because of his strong relationship with Arteta. The winger is reportedly ready to undergo a medical as soon as the deal is finalized, indicating that the transfer could be completed quickly. Given these developments, there is a strong possibility that Sterling could become an Arsenal player before the transfer window closes.
