Sterling is reportedly on the chopping block at Chelsea, coach Potter prefers other players. Arsenal are monitoring the situation, where he could move to

Raheem Sterling has paid the price for Manchester City’s big summer strengthening of the attacking ranks, and quite possibly the same will happen to him again after 6 months, but this time at Chelsea, where a lot has happened in the last year and more will happen.

According to Fichajes, coach Graham Potter had in fact preferred Christian Pulisic over the English winger, giving Sterling the green light to transfer. However, the author of 4 goals and 2 assists in 15 league games was injured earlier this year.

Nevertheless, we are still talking about one of the Blues’ highest rated players, but they have not been doing well lately, as they are currently only in 10th place. They are only 3 points behind 6th place Fulham and have a game to play.

However, Potter is rebuilding the squad in his own image, so it will certainly take some time for everything to settle down. However, that may not be the case any time soon for the aforementioned Sterling, whose departure has been speculated since the arrival of Ukrainian winger Mykhaylo Mudryk.

Another player who has been talked about a lot in connection with his departure is Hakim Ziyech, who has been sitting on the bench for most of the time. However, with the arrival of the new year, obviously due to injuries, he is getting a lot more space and he paid for his time with an assist on the only goal of the game against Crystal Palace.

It is widely expected that one of this duo will be the one to pack up from Stamford Bridge. However, a similar situation is likely to occur in midfield, where there is also a large glut of players.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta was already in pursuit of Sterling in the summer, but the English winger preferred her city rival. However, according to available information, the interest continues, which is logical.

Arsenal certainly do not have a wide squad, at least not in terms of attack, and this is not helped by the injury to Gabriel Jesus, who could certainly be replaced by Sterling at the top. In the last 6 months he has been the most frequent player in this position.

Moreover, Arsenal will face very tough opponents, with Manchester United and City twice in the next 5 games. In addition, they will face Everton and Brentford.
