Arsenal have signed Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling on loan for the rest of the season, the clubs confirmed Friday. Sterling has three years remaining on his current contract at Chelsea but had been deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.
After previously being linked with Man United, Sterling completed his move to Arsenal just before the close of the summer transfer window.
The deal for Sterling came as ESPN reported that Chelsea had agreed to sign Man United winger Jadon Sancho on loan. The best is yet to come.
