According to reports, Arsenal have initiated discussions to sign Raheem Sterling.
The Chelsea forward, who has been sidelined by manager Enzo Maresca, has no future at Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal launch last-minute bid for Raheem Sterling
Sterling was previously linked with a move to Manchester United to replace Jadon Sancho, but that deal fell through. According to The Athletic, Arsenal has now made a formal approach to acquire Sterling.
A recent report from The Sun states that Arsenal is actively working on the transfer and have entered into talks with the player.
Personal terms between Sterling and Arsenal still need to be finalised, but it’s believed that won’t be a significant obstacle. The move could potentially be a loan deal for the former England international.
A move to the Emirates would increase Sterling’s chances of playing time this season.
Maresca has confirmed that the winger is not part of his plans and would not feature for Chelsea if he remains at the club.
If a deal materialises, Sterling would become Arsenal’s fourth new signing of the summer.
Mikel Arteta has already brought in Riccardo Calafiori, Mikel Merino, and David Raya to his squad.
