Arsenal consider Raheem Sterling deal done

According to Arsenal insider, Team News and Ticks, writing on his Patreon, Arsenal consider Raheem Sterling to be a done deal.

Sterling has been linked with Arsenal all day, and now it looks like it will be finalised before the end of the transfer window.

As the old saying goes, good things take time, great things happen all at once, and that applies to this deal.

Arsenal have taken a long time to get their attacker this summer, but as soon as Sterling became available on deadline day, they struck and made this happen.

Raheem Sterling’s role for Arsenal

Now we know that Sterling is Arsenal-bound, it’s interesting to ponder the role he will play at Arsenal.

The winger is going to be on massive money at the Emirates, and he won’t be arriving just to warm the bench.

Mikel Arteta is a big fan of Sterling after his spell at Manchester City, and the manager could put the winger straight into his starting XI.

Leandro Trossard has been brilliant as of late, but given Sterling’s Premier League pedigree and his trophy collection, Arteta may turn to Sterling as Arsenal push to win the league this season.

Whether or not Arsenal can win the title this season remains to be seen, but Sterling certainly has the ability to be a big difference-maker if the Gunners’ title push.
