£350k-a-week star makes January decision that Arsenal is where he wants to be in January

Raheem Sterling has no plans to end his ARSENAL loan spell early, despite the winger’s lack of minutes under Mikel Arteta, according to the latest reports on the Daily Mirror this weekend.

Sterling joined Chelsea from Man City in 2022 for a fee of £47.5million, with the England international tallying 31 direct goal contributions [19 goals, 12 assists] in 81 appearances for the Blues.

However – the decision was made in the summer transfer window that he would be allowed to leave Chelsea and make the loan move to Arsenal, who were interested in adding a bit more depth to that Gunners side.

But Blues winger Sterling, 30, has failed to make much of an impact on the pitch since joining the Gunners in a temporary switch back in August. He has played 11 games for Mikel Arteta’s side to date, registering just one goal and two assists for Arsenal.

Sterling was handed a rare start in Arsenal’s Carabao Cup win over Crystal Palace last week – but he’s struggled for minutes across the Premier League and Champions League – and is regularly an unused substitute.
