After much anticipation, Raheem Sterling is finally set to make his debut for Arsenal following his recent move from Chelsea. The winger's arrival has come as a surprise to many, as Arsenal had initially considered signing Brentford's Bryan Mbuemo during the summer transfer window. However, thanks to an impressive loan deal pulled off by Mikel Arteta and Edu, Sterling will now be donning the red and white jersey of Arsenal.
It seemed unlikely that Arsenal would add to their attacking line-up, having missed out on top targets such as Benjamin Sesko and Nico Williams. But a twist of fate in the form of an injury to Gabriel Jesus has led to the acquisition of Sterling, taking advantage of Chelsea's decision to let him go. But before securing this deal, it has been reported that Arsenal had also looked into the possibility of signing Mbuemo.
The Brentford forward has had a fantastic start to the season, scoring three goals in just as many games. However, with the departure of another key player, Ivan Toney, Brentford were not keen on losing two star players in quick succession without a chance to replace them. This opened the door for Arsenal to focus on Sterling, who has been eager to join the club.
The 29-year-old was unable to make his debut in the recent match against Brighton, but is now looking forward to featuring in the upcoming north London derby against Tottenham. During the international break, Sterling has been working hard to adapt to the demands of his new manager, Mikel Arteta, with whom he shares a history from their time together at Manchester City.
In a recent interview, Sterling expressed his excitement about joining Arsenal, stating that it is a "perfect fit" for him. He added that he was drawn to the club's hunger and drive to continuously improve and push for success. As an ambitious individual, Sterling is determined to make his mark at Arsenal and help the team achieve their goals. He is looking forward to meeting his new teammates and settling in with the club.
