Raheem Sterling’s verdict on Mikel Arteta as Chelsea star linked with shock Arsenal transfer
Chelsea winger sterling has been linked with a surprise move to Arsenal that would see him reunite with Arteta The England international has struggled so far for the Blues, suffering with a mixture of injuries as well as a host of position changes in a side low on confidence.
Sterling joined the west London outfit from Manchester City last summer, but just four goals and two assists in the Premier League in 18 appearances has underlined the task facing Graham potter and a misfiring Chelsea. “I think it has been a challenge for him,” The manager said on the season so far for the 28-year-old back in January.
“It has been a challenging period for everybody. There is a lot of change and a lot of things have happened. In that regard it is never easy to completely settle and hit the ground running. There is more to come from Raheem I am sure. But he gives his best everyday and we need to help him get to the level we know he can get to.”
The links to Arsenal then come as something as a shock, with the experienced winger still settling into his role at Stamford Bridge. That’s also not to mention where he would fit in the side at the Emirates Stadium, with plenty of quality in depth across their current frontline.
However, should a move be on the table, it may be one that both Sterling and Arsenal are willing to pursue, reuniting with Arteta once again. The forward has already made his feelings clear on the manager, having praised him after working with him at Manchester City.
