Arsenal are considering signing Raheem Sterling after being offered the Chelsea winger. Mikel Arteta wants more depth in attack, and Sterling, who has been warned he has no future at Stamford Bridge, might join one of Chelsea’s main competitors.
The 29-year-old winger is now on a three-year contract at £325,000 per week, making the trade difficult to complete. Given his contractual status, Sterling has a great probability of staying at Chelsea, despite Enzo Maresca has warned him that he will not play a minute.

Arsenal will sign Neto on a season-long loan from Bournemouth, following two unsuccessful offers for Espanyol’s Joan García. The Brazilian goalkeeper is scheduled to have a medical on Friday after signing a loan arrangement with Bournemouth that includes no option or obligation to buy. He will fill in for David Raya, as Aaron Ramsdale is expected to join Southampton. Neto has started all three Bournemouth games this season, but he is being allowed to depart when Kepa Arrizabalaga joined on loan from Chelsea.
Arsenal ready to replace Ramsdale?
Arsenal aimed to replace Ramsdale with García, a member of Spain’s Olympic gold medal-winning side. However, Espanyol is said to be demanding the 23-year-old’s €30 million (£25m) release clause be paid. Reported By UK Sports.
Ramsdale hopes to finalize his move to Southampton in time to register for Saturday’s game against Brentford. He will cost £18 million upfront, with Arsenal expected to receive up to £6 million in add-ons, including a £1 million bonus if Southampton avoid relegation. Southampton are also expected to sign Maxwel Cornet on a season-long loan from West Ham.
Following Neto’s departure, Mark Travers is set to stay at Bournemouth, having being watched by Crystal Palace as a potential replacement for Wolves-bound Sam Johnstone. Palace could target Nottingham Forest’s Matt Turner.
Brighton have made a €20 million offer for Nordsjaelland striker Conrad Harder, which could push the club’s spending this summer above £200 million. The 19-year-old Dane has an offer from Sporting in Portugal.
