CHELSEA have reportedly made a decision over Raheem Sterling ahead of the January transfer window amid his disappointing loan spell at Arsenal, as they will not be bringing the winger back to Stamford Bridge next month.
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.
Despite his lack of game time, though, Chelsea have decided they will not recall Sterling from his season-long loan at the Emirates in the January transfer window, according to The Athletic.
Sterling himself is also thought to be happy to remain at Arsenal amid his lack of action, having become a popular figure in the club’s dressing room.

Sterling does not want to return to Chelsea, the Blues dont want to bring him back to the club, we are sure that he has played his last game for CHELSEA and come the end of the season, he will leave the club on a more permanent basis.
And with Bukayo Saka now out for a while, Sterling could get a few more games over the next few weeks.
