Arsenal completed a late move for Raheem Sterling on deadline day, enhancing their attack with a very experienced player.
The Gunners have been in fantastic form over the last few seasons and only added a few players to their squad this summer.
Sterling’s move occurred after they sent Reiss Nelson out on loan to create room for the Chelsea loanee.
The Englishman is now eager to show why Arsenal chose to bring him to North London.
Before the Gunners signed him, the attacker was exiled from the Chelsea first team, with the Blues informing him that he was no longer part of their plans.
Most people believe this decision was both poor and disrespectful towards the former Manchester City star.
There are questions about his suitability for Arsenal, but Rio Ferdinand believes it is a brilliant piece of business by the Gunners.
He said, as quoted by The Sun:
“It’s a great business by Arsenal. From their perspective, this is a ridiculous bit of business.
“You’re getting an experienced winger who has won four league titles, he knows how to get it done.
“He’s played for some of the biggest clubs this country has to offer.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Sterling has a lot of experience, and hopefully, the attacker will help us win some trophies.

While Ferdinand is not a competent analyst in any world, I agree w him here. It’s a shrewd piece of business that finally gives us a proper backup to Saka, a goal scoring threat, and one who will help add more title experience to the locker room. Of course, it’s disappointing we didn’t get that number 9 talisman we still need, but there’s no question we needed to bolster the wings on deadline day.
We don’t know either way yet. “Ridiculous” could be applied to Sterling’s signing in its traditional meaning just as much as in the sense that Ferdinand is using it – we’ll just have to wait and see. It seems that he may get an early run-out against Sp*rs on 17 September.
I love 💕 your comment on the word ridiculous used by Rio. Either way lets Wait and see.
It’s no brainer signing. I love it. Sterling is not just a match winner but trophies winner. Arsenal we have got a true gem of footballer in RS
