Raheem Sterling was Arsenal’s last and most surprising signing of the summer transfer window. The Chelsea winger has joined Arsenal on a season-long loan, reuniting with his former Manchester City coach, Mikel Arteta. Arteta played a crucial role in Sterling’s development into a leading attacker during their time together at City.
However, Sterling’s performance has declined since moving to Chelsea. His loan move to Arsenal offers the 29-year-old a chance to regain his form and aid Arsenal in their quest for the Premier League title, a trophy Sterling has won four times.
Sterling recently shared his excitement about reuniting with Arteta at Arsenal. In an interview with Arsenal’s official website, Sterling expressed enthusiasm about working with Arteta again and praised the impressive progress the manager has made since taking over the team.
Given Arteta’s role in Sterling’s success at Manchester City, their reunion at Arsenal might be pivotal for the club’s Premier League ambitions. Sterling is keen to begin and contribute to the team’s efforts.
When discussing his return to work with Arteta and his anticipation for the season, Sterling remarked, “He’s a top guy, a top character. I’ve followed his journey since our time at City, and seeing him make his mark on this prestigious football club with such a rich history is impressive. You can clearly see the excellent work he’s doing here.”
