Arsenal Secure Last-Ditch Raheem Sterling Loan Transfer After Ace Was Cast Out by Chelsea Boss Enzo MarescaIn a surprising turn of events, Arsenal has secured a season-long loan move for Raheem Sterling from Chelsea, just hours before the Premier League transfer window closed. The clubs announced the move almost three hours after the deadline, with Sterling signing papers at Arsenal’s training ground, smiling broadly.The former Chelsea forward, who has 82 England caps, was told he had no future at Stamford Bridge after being cast out of the squad by Enzo Maresca. Sterling, 29, was previously linked with a move to Manchester United to replace Jadon Sancho, but that did not materialize.The transfer window closed at 11pm on Friday, but clubs are able to submit outstanding documentation to complete deals if they have submitted deal sheets on time. Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, has been keen to strengthen his squad and has been pursuing Sterling for some time. The addition of Sterling will undoubtedly boost Arsenal’s attacking options and provide a much-needed boost to their chances in the Premier League this season.
