Chelsea have decided not to pursue a transfer for Raheem Sterling during the upcoming January window.

Raheem Sterling, the talented Chelsea star, is currently on a season-long loan at Arsenal. However, his loan spell has been quite disappointing so far, as he has failed to make a significant impact on the pitch. According to reports, Chelsea has made a decision about Sterling's future ahead of the upcoming January transfer window.

Since joining Arsenal on loan in August, the 30-year-old Blues winger has only played 11 games for Mikel Arteta's side. He has managed to score just one goal and provide two assists for Arsenal. Although Sterling was given a rare start in Arsenal's Carabao Cup victory over Crystal Palace last week, he has struggled to get enough playing time in the Premier League and Champions League. He is often seen as an unused substitute.

Despite not getting enough game time, Chelsea has decided not to recall Sterling from his loan at Emirates in the January transfer window, as reported by The Athletic. Sterling himself is content to stay at Arsenal despite his lack of action, as he has become a popular figure in the club's dressing room. It is believed that the 82-capped England international is determined to work hard and earn a spot in the Gunners' starting lineup in the second half of the season.

However, in Arsenal's last Premier League match, Sterling was unable to play due to an injury. Manager Arteta expressed his sympathy for the player, stating that Sterling has been affected by the Gunners' injury troubles and suspensions, which have limited his playing time. He also praised Sterling's positive attitude and eagerness to play.

The 30-year-old's loan spell at Arsenal will come to an end this season, and he will return to Chelsea. His contract with the Blues runs until 2027, after signing a five-year deal in 2022 when he joined the club from Manchester City for a fee of £47.5m. Meanwhile, former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore declared to Metro last month that Sterling was the Premier League's "flop of the season".
