Arsenal have managed to sign Raheem Sterling from Chelsea. The 29-year-old will be joining the Red side of London on a loan move. Signing the winger on loan is quite smart from the Gunners. Considering he still has 3-years left on his contract with Chelsea. At the same time, he is one of their highest paid players. So, Mikel Arteta would have had to spend a lot more for the Englishman to make a permanent deal. And, given the stage of his career and his situation with the Blues, that would have been money down the drain.
Arsenal sign Raheem Sterling: Who got the better end of the deal?
The Gunners have signed the 29-year-old winger on loan. As per football.london, they won’t be paying any transfer fee to Chelsea. At the same time, they are paying reasonable amount of his wages. So, signing a player of his caliber for such terms does seem like a bargain. And, if he goes on to produce his best, he could be a superb signing. When on top form, he is easily one of the world’s best. Arsenal fans will be keen to see what Raheem Sterling can do for them.
Did the Gunners make the right move?
Well, Mikel Arteta wanted to bring in a proper striker from the start. We saw the Gunners trying to sign Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen. But, they were not able to make moves for them. But, it looks like Arteta then wanted a forward to increase squad depth up front. As a result, we saw Bayern’s Kingsley Coman being a probable option for them. But, in the end, Arsenal ended up signing Raheem Sterling. No doubt, he is a quality player. But, the move seems like more of trying to take the advantage of the market situation. How the 29-year-old will fit into Arteta’s plans remains to be seen.
