Sterling who was excluded from major competition by Chelsea needs to move to another club in order to have play time.

Sterling: “Joining Arsenal is really an unbelievable feeling. I’m buzzing”.

“This is a perfect fit for me! You see the journey the boys are on, and the hunger, and I keep saying again, the togetherness is something I’m looking to be part of”.

Arsenal director Edu on why he signed Sterling: “It makes a lot of sense to have someone like Raheem”.

“He has experience, he understands more than anyone the league and he’s played in the Champions League many times… so we really needed that”
