Raheem Sterling's deadline day transfer to Arsenal has been beneficial on all ends. The English forward, not guaranteed game time at Chelsea, will find ample opportunities at Arsenal. The move certainly helps Arsenal with team depth and Chelsea by jettisoning some massive wages.
Sterling has now spoken for the first time about his transfer to Arsenal, claiming the club is a 'perfect fit' for him.
"I'm buzzing. It's one where we 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. It's a great fit for me to be at a football club like this, where you can see that hunger, that desire, year on year they are pushing and pushing and pushing," Sterling told Arsenal's media team.
Sterling knows Mikel Arteta, having worked with him for three-and-a-half years at Manchester City. During those seasons, Sterling enjoyed some of his most prolific goal-scoring seasons.
Sterling and Arteta hope to recapture this form, which helped Manchester City win the Premier League. Sterling will be even more excited to experience once more the methods of Arteta, given the manner his former assistant manager has revitalized Arsenal's fortunes.
He's a top guy, a top character. I have been watching his journey because I spent some time with him at Manchester City, and to see him come in here and stamp his mark on this amazing football club, with this amazing history, it says a lot about him and the great job he is doing here," Sterling added.
