BREAKING NEWS: Coming live from Emirates, Ian wright questions arsenal reason for signing Raheem sterling. “I want to know what’s the reason for this careless signing no disrespect but what is the use of sterling in arsenal. See When we fail to sign the right players for the job we be always “ALMOST THERE” but can never get there period”. Raheem Sterling is familiar with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, having worked with him when he was Manchester City’s assistant manager. The 29-year-old struggled to produce consistently at Chelsea, where he was one of the best-paid players. He managed just 19 goals and provided 12 assists in 81 appearances for the Blues. Sterling then is different from Now understand that Ian wright warns.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has thrown his support behind Arsenal to win the Premier League this season following their acquisition of Raheem Sterling from Chelsea. The English winger joined the Gunners on a loan deal after falling out of favor at Stamford Bridge.

Enzo Maresca, the new Chelsea coach, wasted no time in making it clear that Sterling was not part of his plans for the season. Sterling was left out of the squad for Chelsea’s league opener against his former club, Manchester City, effectively sidelining him from the team. While Chelsea entertained offers for Sterling from both international clubs and Premier League rivals, Arsenal managed to secure his signing just before the transfer window closed.

Ferdinand shared his thoughts on Sterling’s move to Arsenal on his YouTube channel, expressing that the deal was perfectly suited to the Gunners. He commented, “What a wild series of events this was. But I’m just relieved and happy that Raheem Sterling finally got the move he wanted. The situation wasn’t handled well by Chelsea—it could’ve been managed better. But I’m glad he’s gone now. Arsenal pulled off a fantastic piece of business. From their point of view, this is a brilliant acquisition.”

The former Manchester United defender also praised Sterling’s abilities, asserting that the winger would be a crucial asset in Arsenal’s quest for the Premier League title. Ferdinand explained, “Arsenal is getting an experienced winger who has already won four league titles—he knows what it takes to get the job done. He’s played for some of the biggest clubs in England. His experience in winning trophies is priceless. It’s baffling that Chelsea allowed a player of his caliber to leave.”

Ferdinand further stated, “This move is a match made in heaven for Arsenal. It’s a perfect fit, in my opinion. Raheem has something to prove, and I believe he will deliver at Arsenal. I’ll say it again: I think Arsenal will win the league this year, and this signing only strengthens that belief. Sterling could be the key to their success.”

Raheem Sterling has a history with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, having worked with him when Arteta was the assistant manager at Manchester City. Although Sterling struggled with consistency at Chelsea, where he was among the highest-paid players, he still managed to score 19 goals and provide 12 assists in 81 appearances for the Blues.

At Arsenal, Sterling will face competition from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard for a spot in the starting lineup. With 123 career Premier League goals to his name, Sterling’s arrival is expected to add significant firepower to Arsenal’s attack.

England football legend Gary Lineker also praised Arsenal’s decision to bring in Raheem Sterling on loan from Chelsea. Speaking on the Rest is Football podcast, Lineker highlighted the value of Sterling’s experience despite his relatively young age. Lineker remarked, “He’s still only 29. It feels like he’s been around forever, and you might think he’s a veteran well into his 30s, but he’s only 29, so Raheem still has a lot to offer. Whether he’ll play consistently remains to be seen, but he’s been a top player for over a decade now.”

Sterling has expressed his excitement about joining Arsenal and was spotted at the Emirates Stadium watching the team’s 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion over the weekend. The experienced forward is expected to make his debut for the Gunners in their upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur after the international break.
