Former Manchester United player, Paul Scholes, recently shared his belief that Arsenal could benefit from signing Chelsea's unwanted star, Raheem Sterling. The 29-year-old winger's future at Chelsea seems uncertain after being left out of the Premier League opener and being banished from first-team training.
According to reports, Sterling was seeking clarity about his future at the club and is now facing a race against time to secure a new club before the end of the transfer window. It is believed that several foreign and Premier League clubs are interested in signing him, including Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.
Scholes, who previously played for Manchester United, believes that Arsenal could do well to bring Sterling to North London. The Gunners were linked with a move for Sterling last year and Scholes is convinced that he could improve their squad, although he may not be a guaranteed starter.
"It's ok having 12, 13, 14 good players, but you still need a deeper squad," Scholes explained on The Overlap with Sky Bet. "I think Sterling would be a good squad player for them."
It is worth noting that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta previously worked with Sterling while he was Pep Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City. Arteta has fuelled transfer rumors by admitting that he has "really strong feelings" for Sterling and that they have a great relationship.
"He was unbelievable at the time we worked together and he taught me a lot as well about individuals and how players think," Arteta said during a press conference. "He's someone that I have strong feelings about."
It remains to be seen if Arsenal will make a move for Sterling before the transfer window closes. But it is clear that Scholes and Arteta both believe that the talented winger would be a valuable addition to the Gunners' squad. As they continue their pursuit for a Premier League title, Sterling could provide the depth and quality needed to finally achieve this goal.
