Arsenal are looking at signing Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling again on loan as an option on the left-wing, according to AFC AMDEN.
The Arsenal insider, who is famous for breaking news about the North London club on social media and is followed by the likes of Kaya Kaynak, Simon Collings, Charles Watt and Sami Mokbel on X (formerly Twitter) made the claim this evening.
The Gunners still want an attacker but a move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze is off, while Real Madrid say the North London club have not approached them for Rodrygo.
Understand Arsenal are looking at Sterling on loan as an option on the left-wing. Plenty of experience and can compete with Trossard as Martinelli’s back up

It appears Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta now wants to reunite with Sterling again as he looks for competition for Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli.
The Gunners paid just around 30 per cent (£97,500) of the £325,000 wages of Sterling to secure his loan services last season, and a similar deal could be on the cards again.
The 30-year-old made 28 appearances for Arsenal last term, weighing in with one goal and five assists.
He remains out of favour at Chelsea as he is currently training away from the first-team, and a return to North London could be happening again.
Arsenal want quality depth in attack, and it seems Arteta has identified Sterling as a last resort.
It is not a deal the fans would be pleased with given that Tottenham Hotspur are now closing in on a move for Eze.
However, the former Manchester City could be a better option than bringing nobody in at the end of the summer transfer window.
