Arsenal Fans React to Raheem Sterling Transfer Speculation

Sterling Linked with Deadline Day Move to Arsenal

As the transfer window draws to a close, speculation is rife that Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling could be on his way to Arsenal. The 29-year-old winger, who has been excluded from Enzo Maresca’s first-team plans, needs to find a new club before the window shuts if he hopes to play senior football this season.

Arsenal’s Pursuit of Sterling

Sky Sports reported late on Friday that Arsenal were making significant progress in securing a loan deal for Sterling. Journalist Sami Mokbel later added via X that the deal is nearing completion, with Arsenal close to bringing Sterling on board without any obligation to buy.

One fan said: “We need a Saka backup and Sterling can do that…”

Another wrote: “Signing Sterling as cover for Saka and another RW option is an absolute no brainier. Hope the deal goes through it could rejuvenate his career.”

A third user posted: “Sterling slots in perfectly. Good relationship with Arteta and can cover cover both Saka and Martinelli.”

One supporter claimed: “The same people who bemoan us running Saka into the ground are the same ones who are against us loaning in Sterling, who, IMO, would be a perfect cover for either flank, especially with all the games coming up.

Another shared: “Just gonna say If Arsenal sign Raheem Sterling not only will they be getting cover for the LW & the RW they will also be getting an experienced winger who’s knowledge can help improve Martinelli & Saka’s game training with them 5 days a week.”

Arsenal Supporters’ Reaction

Arsenal fans have been buzzing with excitement over the possibility of signing Sterling. Many believe that the English winger would be a fantastic addition, particularly as cover for their star player, Bukayo Saka.

Here’s what some Gunners fans are saying about the potential move:

Sterling’s Potential Reunion with Mikel Arteta

Raheem Sterling enjoyed some of the best football of his career during his time at Manchester City, where he worked under Mikel Arteta, who was then an assistant coach. While Sterling’s form at Chelsea over the past two years has been modest by his standards—scoring 19 goals in 81 appearances—there’s hope that a move to North London could help him rediscover his best form.

If he can find his rhythm again at Arsenal, there’s even a chance he could make his way back into the England squad. All eyes will be on how this potential reunion with Arteta might unfold.
