Spanish tactician Mikel Arteta has explained what the loan signing of Chelsea FC winger Raheem Sterling will bring to Arsenal Football Club as a whole this season.
Arteta, who opened up in a chat with TNT stated that the loan signing of Raheem Sterling is a bigger step up for Arsenal because he knows the qualities that the player possesses.
According to the coach who is usually animated on the touchline during games, the player is a top talent with loads of experience and he hopes Sterling impacts Arsenal in a good way.
“We know the qualities he has. It is a bigger step up for us,” Arteta told TNT.
“We have brought a top talent who has loads of experience, hopefully, he impacts the team in a good way.”
Sterling completed a late transfer deadline day move to Premier League rivals Arsenal after the 29-year-old agreed a season-long loan with Mikel Arteta’s side.
“It’s an unbelievable feeling. It’s really exciting,” Sterling said of his switch.
“It [the move] is one where we kind of left it late, but it’s one I was hoping for.
“Looking at everything, I’m just, like, ‘this is a perfect fit for me’, and I’m super happy that we got it over the line.”
