Keown advises Arsenal not to acquire Chelsea's unwanted player.

Former Arsenal player Martin Keown has recently shared his thoughts on the potential transfer of Raheem Sterling to the club. Keown, who now works as a football pundit, has advised his former team not to pursue the Chelsea outcast. According to Keown, Sterling's style of play may not be a good fit for Arsenal's current manager, Mikel Arteta.

It seems that Sterling's time at Chelsea is coming to an end, as he was left out of their first Premier League game and has been excluded from first-team training. While initially downplaying Sterling's absence, Chelsea's assistant manager Maresca later admitted that the English winger does not fit their preferred style and suggested that he should seek a move elsewhere if he wants to play regularly.

Reports suggest that Sterling is now looking for a permanent transfer, preferably within the Premier League. Arsenal was linked with the 29-year-old last year, but Keown believes that they should not pursue him anymore. When asked if he would take Sterling at Arsenal, Keown stated that he rates him highly as a player but feels that his best work is done off the ball. He also pointed out that Sterling tends to do too much when he has the ball and struggles to beat his man.

When asked about potential destinations for Sterling, Keown suggested that Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, could be a good fit for him. He believes that Emery is very hands-on and knows exactly what he wants from his players, which could benefit Sterling's game.

Another football legend, Paul Scholes, also shared his views on Sterling potentially joining Arsenal. He believes that while Sterling may not be a starter for the team, he could provide valuable depth as a squad player. Scholes emphasized the importance of having a strong bench in addition to a starting lineup in order to be successful in the long run.

While there has been speculation about Arsenal's interest in Sterling, it remains to be seen if any concrete steps will be taken towards a potential transfer.
