Raheem Sterling has joined Arsenal on a season-long loan from Chelsea.
The 29-year-old England forward joins after being frozen out at Stamford Bridge by new Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca, who has publicly said he “prefers a different kind of winger”.
Maresca told Sterling he would not play for the club after he was left out of their opening-day defeat to Manchester City on August 18, and he has not featured in any of their three match-day squads so far this season.
Sterling was one of the marquee signings of the early Todd Boehly era, joining for £47.5m in the summer of 2022 from Manchester City, before going on to make 81 appearances for the club and score 19 goals across two seasons.
His move does not include an option or obligation for a permanent deal at the end of his spell at the Emirates.
