Prior in June, The Mirror detailed that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta needed a gathering with the Manchester City assailant.
The Gunners boss was Pep Guardiola's assistant at Eastlands for various years, agreeing with Sterling's time under the Spanish duo.However, Chelsea have made most of the running with regards to signing the England international over the past fortnight.
It's been accounted for that he'll cost £50 million - a figure the Blues will spend - and previous Premier League player Chris Iwelumo has conceded on Sky Sports that he can't really accept that the Citizens will sell to an opponent.
He told Sky Sports News: "I'm totally in shock that Man City would try and contemplate let him going to another Premier League side. Sterling is so significant. 23 games I think he started last season - 13 goals, five assists."
It is somewhat surprising that City will sell to a Premier League rival, yes.Guardiola is as of now nearly selling Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal in a move that will strengthen the Gunners a ton.
So the prospect of the previous Barcelona boss selling Sterling to the Gunners or Chelsea is also perplexing.The pair scored more than 20 Premier League goals in assisting City with bringing home the championship last season, which isn't a colossal volume of goals, however goals Guardiola's troops will not be relying on next season or past.
As things stand, Chelsea are most certainly favorites for Sterling.That's because Thomas Tuchel is also 'close' to signing Raphinha, taking down off contest from the North Londoners.And with both being wingers, the Blues getting Raphinha could, in principle, give Arteta a life saver for Sterling.
