The Gunners are in need of additional attacking options to provide depth and competition for the it current squad. However, the deal hinges on whether Chelsea and Sterling can reach an agreement over the money he is owed. Sterling’s high wages have been a sticking point, and Arsenal is cautious about taking on such a financial commitment.

Mikel Arteta, who has previously worked with Sterling at Manchester City, is reportedly interested in bringing the winger to the Emirates Stadium. Sterling’s experience and versatility could be valuable assets for Arsenal as they aim to compete on multiple fronts this season.
