Report: Arsenal are looking at bringing 'underrated' player in on loan on deadline day

Arsenal are looking at signing a new attacking player on deadline day.

The Gunners want a new wide player to add more depth to their squad, and Raheem Sterling has been linked.

However, Sterling’s move to Arsenal isn’t going to be straightforward.

Indeed, it’s been reported that there are massive issues with Sterling’s potential departure from Chelsea.

Chelsea still want to get Sterling out the door by the end of deadline day, and in order to circumvent some of the ongoing issues, they could now sanction a loan deal.

Raheem Sterling could join Arsenal on loan

According to Miguel Delaney, Sterling could join Arsenal on a loan deal.

Arsenal have apparently discussed a temporary move with Chelsea in order to get around some of the issues that pertain to a permanent departure.

Of course, this would only be a temporary solution for Chelsea around a player who has no future at Stamford Bridge.

However, this would be a great move for Arsenal as it would allow them to plug a hole in their squad without committing long-term to a player who earns an absolute fortune.

Raheem Sterling loan is a no-brainer

This move is a no-brainer for Arsenal if they can get it done.

Sterling knows Mikel Arteta very well already from their time at Manchester City, and, at his best, he’s one of the Premier League’s most prolific wingers.

Arsenal need cover in the wide areas, and having a player like Sterling who is quality and versatile would be ideal.

A one-year loan could be just what the doctor ordered for Arsenal. After all, finding a long-term solution to your attacking issues with just hours to run in the summer transfer window.

The ‘underrated‘ winger has been there and done it before in terms of winning the Premier League, and he could be the difference-maker for Arsenal in the title race this season, getting one over his former club, Manchester City.
