Chelsea's Sterling moved to Arsenal Training Center on the 30th (local time), the deadline for the transfer window in the summer of 2024 and underwent a medical test. On the 31st, when the paperwork was completed, 'Official' (transfer announcement) appeared. The condition is to rent for one season.
It's a predicted transfer. Sterling made an official statement on the 19th to protest Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca's decision shortly after he was excluded from the EPL opening entry for the 2024-2025 season with Manchester City. It was said that the sudden exclusion of the list could not be accepted in the context of the normal preseason schedule.
Coach Maresca said not all players can be included in the entry, but said Sterling is not his preferred winger, indicating that he will not appoint him this season.
As a result, Sterling was strongly linked to Manchester United, which is struggling with the disposal of Jadon Sancho. The possibility of a swap deal for sterling and Sancho has been raised. Negotiations were not easy. Instead of sending Sancho to Chelsea, United have opted to embrace Chelsea's holy midfielder Carney Chukuehmeka. Chelsea handed Sterling's number seven to Pedru Netu. It was a de facto release notice.
Sterling turned to Arsenal, which is based in London. Arsenal, Manchester City's opponent for a fifth consecutive win, reached out to winger Sterling, who has been proven to be a factor to strengthen his side attack. Sterling, whose family has all settled in London, is said to have preferred to move to a club in London.

Although he did not have a tie with the trophy in Liverpool, he led Manchester City to four EPL, one FA Cup and five League Cups. At one point, Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, consistently performed as a Reeve (league best) player. Chelsea couldn't recreate Manchester City's performance.
His total EPL record is 123 goals and 63 assists in 379 matches, one more than Son Heung-min, who scored 122 goals. He will continue to compete this season as well.
The number of players who have played for both Chelsea and Arsenal is not small. William Gallas, David Luiz and others moved their nests to rival teams. Most recently, Kai Havertz left Chelsea and settled in Arsenal.
Arsenal, led by head coach Mikel Arteta, have won two consecutive league games since the opening of this season, riding a good trend. Manchester City is also on a two-game winning streak.
