According to well-known journalist Ben Jacobs, Arsenal Football Club is considering signing striker Raheem Sterling from Chelsea Football Club on a permanent transfer next summer. The news has attracted a lot of attention from fans and the media as Sterling has been a highly regarded player in the Premier League.
Arsenal managed to secure Sterling on loan from Chelsea in the final stages of the summer transfer window, a move that is seen as a major step towards strengthening the team's attacking line. Ben Jacobs said that if Sterling's performance during the loan period can meet the expectations, Arsenal will probably choose to sign him permanently. Sterling himself has shown great interest and excitement in joining Arsenal, and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta knows Sterling very well, which provides favorable conditions for his integration in the team.
Arsenal has been praised for the way they operate in the transfer market, they are good at identifying and bringing in players with potential and bringing success to the team through a sound transfer strategy. For example, players such as Trossard and Jorginho, who were recently brought in by the team, have quickly integrated into the team after joining and brought positive changes to the team. Sterling's joining is also seen as a continuation of this successful transfer strategy for Arsenal.
Although Sterling is yet to make his official debut for Arsenal, there are already high hopes for him. It has been argued that Sterling is expected to start in all of Arsenal's marquee matches and attack for the team. However, Sterling himself has shown enough humility and pragmatism to say that he is ready to be a rotational player in the team and is willing to contribute to the team's success.
The addition of Sterling will undoubtedly add more energy and options to Arsenal's offensive line. His speed, breaking ability and shooting skills will bring important support to the team. Meanwhile, Sterling's professional attitude and team spirit will also set an example for Arsenal's young players.
