Ian Wright believes Raheem Sterling should be looking for a new club as he does not expect Arsenal to sign him on a permanent transfer. Arsenal fans had high hopes for Sterling after the England international joined the club from Chelsea on a season-long loan deal. Sterling was desperate to revive his career after flattering to deceive at Stamford Bridge and being told to leave by new Blues boss Enzo Maresca.
But Sterling has continued to underwhelm in north London, starting just three Premier League games under Mikel Arteta and scoring one goal in 14 appearances. Given his poor loan spell, Wright does not expect Arsenal to sign Sterling on a permanent transfer and reckons he will return to his parent club Chelsea.
That was the guy we want to see. I would love to see him go to that place. When he joined, I thought it was a perfect move. Sterling came on as a late substitute as Arsenal threw away a two-goal lead at home to Aston Villa on Saturday. The draw saw Arsenal slip six points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, who also have a game in hand, but Wright retains full faith in Gunners boss Arteta.
This squad is on its knees, the board has to do something. Everyone goes straight to the negativity but we have to back what this manager is trying to do and back the lads. Are we honestly supposed to believe Liverpool are going to win all their games? And then the Arsenal fans just lap it all up. For more stories like this, check our sport page. Up Next. Previous Page.
