Sterling on joining Arsenal: "I’m buzzing, it's the perfect fit for me"

Forward Raheem Sterling has expressed his excitement about his transfer to Arsenal.

The Gunners recently announced that the 29-year-old winger has joined them on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

"It’s an unbelievable feeling. It’s really exciting. I’m buzzing.

It’s one where we kind of left it late but it’s one I was hoping for. Looking at everything, I’m just, like, ‘This is a perfect fit for me’, and I’m super happy that we got it over the line.

You can see the real togetherness from Mikel’s [Arteta] time here and you see the journey that the boys are on, and you can see the hunger, and I keep saying again, the togetherness is something I’m looking to be a part of," Sterling told Football London.

Sterling has been with Chelsea since 2022, making 81 appearances, scoring 19 goals, and providing 12 assists for the London club. He has also previously played for Liverpool and Manchester City.

Sterling's contract with Chelsea is valid until the summer of 2027. Transfermarkt values the player at €35 million.
