Transfer: Elated Raheem Sterling joins Arsenal, says it’s unbelievable
By Mario Deepromoter
In a major transfer coup, Arsenal Football Club has announced the signing of Raheem Sterling on a season-long loan from Chelsea. The 28-year-old England international expressed his excitement about joining the Gunners, calling it an “unbelievable feeling”.
Sterling, who has been linked with a move away from Chelsea throughout the summer, revealed that he was drawn to Arsenal’s “hunger” and “togetherness”. He praised the team’s journey under manager Mikel Arteta, whom he worked with during his time at Manchester City.
“I’m buzzing to be here,” Sterling said in a statement. “This is a perfect fit for me. I 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.”
Sterling’s arrival is a significant boost to Arsenal’s title-chasing cohort, adding depth and quality to Arteta’s attacking options. The move also reunites him with his former Manchester City boss, who played a key role in his development as a player.
Sterling is expected to make his Arsenal debut in the coming weeks, with the Gunners facing a busy schedule of Premier League and European fixtures.

Al Nassr struggled in Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence on Monday, when the Saudi club kicked off the revamped Asian Champions League with a 1-1 draw against Al Shorta in Iraq.
Al Nassr captain Ronaldo did not travel with the squad for the match in Baghdad, with the club issuing a statement a day before stating that the Portuguese superstar had been diagnosed with a viral infection.
The statement read: “Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t feeling well today and was diagnosed with a viral infection.
“The team’s doctor confirmed he needs to rest and stay at his place.
“As a result, he will not be travelling with the team to Iraq today. We wish a speedy recovery to our captain.”
Al Nassr, who were knocked out of last season’s Asian Champions League in the quarter-finals by eventual champions Al Ain, were given a dream start in the Iraqi capital, when full-back Sultan Al Ghannam met Otavio’s astute, first-time pass on 14 minutes to finish low past Al Shorta goalkeeper Ahmed Basil
Ronaldo is yet to win a major trophy with Al-Nassr since joining the Saudi club.
