Raheem Sterling is expected to make first Arsenal start for tonight

Raheem Sterling is expected to make his first Arsenal start since his shock arrival from Chelsea against Bolton in the Carabao Cup tonight. The experienced attacker joined the Gunners on loan on transfer deadline day but is yet to start a match for his new club. Sterling, though, is in line to play at the Emirates Stadium this evening in a clash that will see Mikel Arteta make a host of changes following the weekend's exhausting visit to Manchester City which saw the Gunners play the entire second half with 10 men after Leandro Trossard was sent off towards the end of the opening 45 minutes. The 29-year-old has made two substitute appearances since arriving from Stamford Bridge, one in the Premier League win over Tottenham and another in last week's European draw against Atalanta. But Ster...

Mikel Arteta would have to break Arsenal transfer promise to sign Raheem Sterling

Arsenal are said to be weighing up a deadline day swoop for Raheem Sterling - just days after Mikel Arteta insisted he would not sign the Chelsea winger. Sterling, 29, has been deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and been frozen out by Enzo Maresca, who has confirmed the player would no longer feature for the Blues moving forward. The former Manchester City and Liverpool star is now seeking a new club before Friday night's transfer deadline and The Emirates has emerged as a potential destination.

Manchester United open talks over Raheem Sterling deal

Manchester United have opened talks over a deal for Raheem Sterling but will only progress in a swap for Jadon Sancho on their own terms. It is understood that United sporting director Dan Ashworth was in dialogue with Chelsea earlier on Tuesday over a sensational package that would see the two England forwards move in opposite directions.

Chelsea have been expected to pay part of Sterling’s wages, more than £300,000 per week, at his next club as they look for departure options. Sancho is wanted at Chelsea to add to Enzo Maresca’s att...
