Arsenal fans are receiving series of negative news recently. Their captain got injured and is set to miss the north london derby. However, one journalist has recently revealed one superb piece of business from Gunners which will bring a smile on the face of fans. The news is regarding Raheem Sterling who Arsenal signed from Chelsea on loan.
Gunners are set to face Tottenham Hotspurs this sunday. They will make a trip to Spurs stadium where Raheem Sterling is expected to make his Gunners debut. However, Arsenal will not start the match as the favourites. It is mainly due to lot of their important players missing, either due to injuries or due to suspensions.
How Arsenal managed to do sign Raheem Sterling smartly
Alex Crook who is journalist at talkSPORT, recently confirmed that Gunners are only paying 30% of Sterling’s salary. The rest is paid by Chelsea who are willing to sell Sterling next summer.
Firstly, Enzo Maresca revealed that Sterling is not part of his plans. He dropped the winger from his squad and forced him to exit. Later, it was revealed that Behdad Eghbali wanted Sterling out of Chelsea. Eghbali is co-founder of Clearlake Capital who own 61.5% stake in Chelsea.
Sterling was offered to many clubs this summer. However, no club managed to move ahead in the talks. Later, Arsenal managed to sign Sterling on a season long loan on the deadline day.
Gunners were looking for a winger this summer, Chelsea were looking to part ways with Sterling and lastly, Sterling was looking for game time. All three parties managed to benefit from the deal.
However, as per the recent update from Crook it is crystal clear that Arsenal have got the better end of the deal. They have nothing to lose as they are paying bare minimum of the winger’s salary. In contrast, they have everything to gain if Sterling is able to return back to his top form.
