Former Premier League striker Andy Cole believes Raheem Sterling could prove to be the best signing of the summer after his move to Arsenal. Sterling joined the Gunners on the final day of the transfer window after being told by Chelsea that he was not part of new manager Enzo Maresca’s plans.
Arsenal seized the opportunity to bring in the experienced attacker, and Mikel Arteta quickly integrated him into the squad. Sterling is expected to enhance Arsenal’s attack, potentially rediscovering the form he displayed while working with Arteta at Manchester City, where he thrived under the manager’s guidance.
With several high-profile signings across Premier League clubs this season, it remains challenging to predict which player will have the biggest impact, but Cole suggests Sterling’s experience and proven quality could make him the standout addition. Arsenal will be hoping that Sterling’s arrival will provide the team with an extra attacking dimension as they push for silverware.
Cole thinks it could be Sterling. He explains, as quoted by the Daily Mail:
‘Possibly’s Raheem Sterling’s loan move to Arsenal.
‘I really do believe that’s good business and like everybody else, I’m astounded that Enzo Maresca came out and said that Raheem wasn’t going to get any minutes under him. It was like Enzo was shooting himself in the foot by saying that.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Sterling has good experience, and if he is at his best, he could help us find success this term.

Hopefully, a renaissance will occur I’m hoping for the best-case scenario which for me is Arteta rediscovering Stirling’s best form and having him starting on our left wing
The worst-case scenario is Stirling replacing Nelson and resting Saka here and there
I hope so too. After all, he is a winner (and very probably has more trophies than the rest of the Arsenal squad combined) so that mentality could also help us in 2024-25. We’ll only know one way or the other when he’s had some games.
One way or the other Sterling should prove useful in his play as he has the necessary quality to be so. Oh, and yes we need all the help we can get with that mentality thing.
Agree…any minutes of rest given to Saka will make him better for the important games. He has run on fumes at various stages the last 2 years as he was overplayed. He is needed at his best during critical games, not versus relegation fodder or when we have 3 goal leads.
Havertz “cameback to life” in an Arsenal shirt why not Sterling….He will be motivanted to may be get a New contract…..
Nope – he will only be motivated by pride or desire to win at this point. Sterling has 3 more years on a contract that NO other team in the world will improve upon.
