Raheem Sterling has been turning heads in Arsenal's training sessions, catching the attention of manager Mikel Arteta as they prepare for their upcoming match against Tottenham in the highly anticipated north London derby. With key players like Mikel Merino and Declan Rice unavailable for the game, and captain Martin Odegaard likely to miss out due to an ankle injury, Sterling's potential debut for the Gunners is a much-needed boost for the team.
Despite not having played a competitive game in four months, Sterling seems to have regained his confidence, as evidenced by his impressive footwork and powerful shot that hit the crossbar in Saturday's training session. Arteta reveals that Sterling had been dreaming of joining Arsenal and proving his doubters wrong, a sentiment that was evident in their initial phone call where Sterling expressed his excitement and eagerness to join the team.
Arteta was convinced that Sterling was the right fit for Arsenal after just 10 seconds on the phone with the 29-year-old England international. He could sense Sterling's determination and hunger to succeed, which were important qualities for the team. The manager had no doubts about Sterling's abilities and what he could bring to the team, having previously worked with him at Manchester City.
Despite his successful career with four Premier League titles under his belt, Sterling faced a dip in confidence and playing time at his previous club, Chelsea. However, Arteta believes that with the right support and environment, Sterling can regain his form and reach his full potential at Arsenal. The team is determined to provide him with everything he needs to succeed and help him rediscover his best form.
As the team prepares for the north London derby, all eyes will be on Sterling and his potential debut for Arsenal. His presence and skill on the field could be a game-changer for the team and a chance for him to prove himself once again. The future looks bright for Sterling and Arsenal, and fans are eagerly anticipating his first appearance in the iconic red and white jersey.
