Raheem Sterling has described Arsenal as the "perfect fit" following his deadline-day loan move from Chelsea. Sterling secured a season-long loan to the Emirates Stadium after being deemed surplus to the requirements of Blues boss Enzo Maresca. Having officially joined Arsenal, he observed his new team in action against Brighton on Saturday and received his new shirt number, 30, on Tuesday.
Sterling expressed his enthusiasm for joining Arsenal, a club that has fiercely contested Manchester City for the Premier League title in recent seasons. The England international believes that Mikel Arteta’s team aligns perfectly with his aspirations, reflecting his own drive for success.
In his initial interview with the club’s official website, the 29-year-old remarked, “I’m thrilled. Although the decision came down to the wire, it’s one I eagerly anticipated. Everything considered, I feel this is a perfect fit for me. I’m incredibly pleased that it all came together. Arsenal’s relentless pursuit of excellence resonates with me deeply. Each year, they strive to improve, and that mirrors my personal ethos.”
Sterling is eager to integrate with his new teammates and make an impact. He looks forward to his debut post-international break, with Arsenal set to face their North London rivals, Tottenham, on September 15.
