In a major transfer coup, Arsenal Football Club has announced the signing of Raheem Sterling on a season-long loan from Chelsea. The 28-year-old England international expressed his excitement about joining the Gunners, calling it an “unbelievable feeling”.
Sterling, who has been linked with a move away from Chelsea throughout the summer, revealed that he was drawn to Arsenal’s “hunger” and “togetherness”. He praised the team’s journey under manager Mikel Arteta, whom he worked with during his time at Manchester City.
“I’m buzzing to be here,” Sterling said in a statement. “This is a perfect fit for me. I see the journey the boys are on, and the hunger, and I keep saying again, the togetherness is something I’m looking to be part of.”
Sterling’s arrival is a significant boost to Arsenal’s title-chasing cohort, adding depth and quality to Arteta’s attacking options. The move also reunites him with his former Manchester City boss, who played a key role in his development as a player.
Sterling is expected to make his Arsenal debut in the coming weeks, with the Gunners facing a busy schedule of Premier League and European fixtures.
