Arsenal brought back some of their lost glory in their last match against Bournemouth in the Premier League, which saw the Gunners put three goals in the back of their opponent’s net. While Danny Welbeck scored twice in the game, Alexandre Lacazette added to his tally and got the second goal of his Premier League career putting it beyond the reach of the Cherries.
However, the man in charge at the Emirates Stadium, Arsene Wenger, remains sceptical of his side’s attack and is looking to bring in reinforcements to the side to deal with the woes that they faced in their previous matches against Stoke City and Liverpool, where his side failed to score a single goal and faced defeat. He has a number of options under the radar, with the name of the English attacker Raheem Sterling is right on the top of his target list.
The 22-year-old has been in fine form of late and has been among the goals at the very start of the new season for his present club Manchester City. He has been eyed by a number of clubs in the Premier League, among which Arsenal look to be the most interested to bag the player.
The North London club tried their level best to get Sterling into their side for the new season right on the deadline day of the recently concluded summer transfer window, offering Manchester City a swap deal for their attacker involving their long time target, Arsenal’s Chilean marksman Alexis Sanchez.
But they faced a rejection from the Citizens with their coach Pep Guardiola looking to keep hold of his English winger for the rest of the season as well, as he believes that Sterling has a very important role to play in their Premier League as well as Champions League campaigns this term.
The 22-year-old ex-Liverpool player came into the Manchester City side in the year 2015 and has been playing a very important role in their attack. He has made 97 appearances so far and has scored 23 goals to show for his efforts in the Sky Blue jersey of the Citizens. He has also been a perfect team player and has helped his colleagues to get on the score sheet by laying down 31 assists so far in his tenure at the Etihad Stadium.
It goes without saying that the inclusion of Raheem Sterling will definitely bring the much-needed flare to Arsenal’s style of play that they have been missing for quite some time now. The Gunners might once again try hard to get their desired candidate in the January transfer window. But is Sterling the right man for Arsenal?
