Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly in talks regarding a deadline-day move for 29-year-old out-of-favour attacker Raheem Sterling.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Raheem Sterling is the subject of interest from Arsenal. The Gunners have officially begun negotiations to sign the out-of-favour Chelsea attacker in a deadline-day move. However, the 29-year-old will unlikely join Manchester United, with the Red Devils distancing themselves from the rumours after initially considering a late deal.
Raheem Sterling and his Chelsea woes
Raheem Sterling has been one of the best players in the Premier League for nearly a decade. The Englishman rose in prominence during his spell with Liverpool before seeing his stock skyrocket during his highly successful stint with Manchester City, winning almost every trophy with the Citizens.
However, the 29-year-old has been a pale shadow of his best since joining Chelsea from Manchester City in July 2022. has turned out 81 times thus far for Chelsea while chipping in with 19 goals and 12 assists. However, he has played his final game for the West London club after Enzo Maresca revealed the player does not feature in his plans.
Maresca has also insisted that all out-of-favour players must find new clubs unless they want to remain on the sidelines until January at the earliest. So, the England international is keen on finding a solution to his issue, with Arsenal and Manchester United emerging as prospective suitors ahead of Friday’s summer transfer deadline.
What next?
Arsenal’s interest in Raheem Sterling is understandable despite his situation at Chelsea. Mikel Arteta wants two options for every position in his squad, with Bukayo Saka not having a viable deputy. While Sterling can fill that position, he can compete with Gabriel Martinelli on the left flank. So, it is hardly surprising that Arsenal and Chelsea have opened talks regarding the 29-year-old attacker.
As for Manchester United, they have been mulling over a late move for the Englishman. However, his £325,000-a-week wages pose a problem for Manchester United and Arsenal, although the Gunners have a clear aim at the player, with the Red Devils cooling their interest in him.
The England international will hope the talks between Arsenal and Chelsea progress well so he can return to the field in September. However, a move to Manchester United is not on the cards for Sterling.
