Raheem Sterling switches Chelsea for Arsenal in pursuit of Premier League glory

Raheem Sterling has made a surprise loan move to Arsenal from Chelsea on deadline day, reuniting with his former coach Mikel Arteta.

The transfer comes as Arsenal seek to strengthen their squad in their bid for the Premier League title after Gabriel Jesus' injury left them short in attacking options.

Raheel, who was sidelined by Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, now finds himself in a more promising environment at the Emirates.

Mikel has been effusive in his praise for Raheel, reflecting on their successful time together at Manchester City.

The Gunners are hopeful that Raheel’s experience, including four Premier League titles and 82 England caps, will add a decisive edge to their campaign.

With his ability to play across the frontline, Raheel provides Arsenal with the versatility they need, potentially easing the load on key players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

Despite some concerns over the lack of a traditional No. 9, Raheel’s tactical fit and big-match experience could prove crucial as Arsenal aim to topple Manchester City.
