Arsenal sign Chelsea's Raheem Sterling on season-long loan
Arsenal have signed Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling on loan for the rest of the season, the clubs confirmed Friday.
Sterling has three years remaining on his current contract at Chelsea but had been deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge. After previously being linked with Man United, Sterling completed his move to Arsenal just before the close of the summer transfer window.
Raheem Sterling has lost his place in the Chelsea squad, this loan transfer is very beneficial for Raheem Sterling and Arsenal, both will build a relationship that needs each other for one season. Arteta's ability to bring out the best in players has been proven, he will try to use Raheem Sterling's presence to add strength to Arsenal's front line. The addition of ammunition in the front line makes it easier for Arteta to formulate a strategy, especially since their schedule this season is very tight. If Arsenal is able to win the EPL hunt, Raheem Sterling will be the luckiest player because he can win the title after no longer being trusted in Chelsea main squad.
