Kai Havertz, a talented midfielder for Arsenal, recently spoke about the team's new summer signing, Raheem Sterling. He shared that he and his teammates were thrilled to welcome Sterling, who is a winger for Chelsea. Havertz believes that this is an incredible acquisition for their club.
Sterling, who has won four Premier League titles, joined Arsenal on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea on the transfer deadline day. He has previously played for Manchester City and Liverpool, as well as the two London giants. Despite his impressive credentials, Sterling was recently exiled by his new Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca. He was banned from first-team training and told to leave towards the end of the summer transfer window.
Now, Sterling is hoping to help Arsenal end their long wait for a Premier League title and compete in the Champions League. He made his debut for Arsenal in the recent north London derby against Tottenham, coming on as a late substitute. Havertz, who had the opportunity to play with Sterling at Chelsea, believes that Arsenal has pulled off an incredible signing by bringing him to the Emirates Stadium.
In an interview with Stadium Astro after the north London derby victory, Havertz said, "It's incredible. I had the joy to play with him at Chelsea. He's an incredible player. If you see his stats in the Premier League, it's outstanding. You see how much quality he brings to the team, and I think we are all very happy to have him."
In that same derby match, Sterling came on as a late substitute as Arsenal held onto a lead earned by Gabriel's 64th-minute header. After the hard-fought victory, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta praised the team's defensive efforts against a strong opponent. He said, "They are a great side and create an unbelievable atmosphere; we knew it would be tough. We believed we could hurt them, we weren't the best with the ball today. But the way we defended was top drawer."
Arteta also shared that they had to adapt their game plan due to the difficult structure of their opponent. He added, "We want to play a different game, but they put a structure that is extremely difficult to match up, so we decided not to do that. We just worked on heading the ball, having the right delivery, and winning the ball. It's about the right timing. Over the season, the team has to go over hurdles, so I am delighted."
Sterling, who joined Chelsea in 2022 for a record-breaking fee of £50m, made 81 appearances for the club before joining Arsenal. His arrival has been met with excitement and anticipation from the Arsenal fans, who are hoping he can help bring success to the team. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how Sterling's addition to the team impacts their performance on the field.
