Andy Cole, a Premier League icon known for his sharp insights, praised this move, emphasizing its potential to significantly boost Arsenal’s campaign. “I really do believe that’s good business,” Cole remarked, expressing his surprise at Chelsea’s decision to let Sterling go.

I’m astounded that Enzo Maresca came out and said that Raheem wasn’t going to get any minutes under him. It was like Enzo was shooting himself in the foot by saying that.

“It’s not like his position is solidified because if they go on a bad run, he’ll be out the door as well. Arsenal have done good business by getting Raheem in.”

Sterling’s arrival at the Emirates Stadium is seen as a masterstroke by many football pundits. His experience, versatility, and proven track record in the Premier League make him a valuable addition to Arteta’s squad. Sterling’s ability to change the course of a game with his pace, creativity, and goal-scoring prowess could be crucial in Arsenal’s quest to challenge Manchester City for the title.
