Chelsea staff have been impressed with Raheem Sterling of late amid claims Arsenal are interested in signing him this summer.
That’s according to The Telegraph’s Matt Law, who claims that Chelsea have no plans to review Sterling’s future at Stamford Bridge.
Law claims that Chelsea are happy with Sterling and the player himself is happy at Stamford Bridge.
It’s added that Chelsea’s staff have been impressed with Sterling’s determination since coming back from injury.
That suggests Chelsea have no immediate plans to sell Sterling despite landing two wingers during the January window.
Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke arrived in January but with both players still young and developing, maybe Chelsea think keeping a proven player like Sterling is a good idea.
Arsenal hopes of signing Raheem Sterling dented
90Min reported on Monday that Arsenal are interested in snapping up Chelsea wide man Sterling this summer.
It was noted that Mikel Arteta was interested in a reunion with Sterling.
The pair worked together at Manchester City and seemed to enjoy their time there.
A reunion would make sense to some extent, with Arsenal no doubt looking to add some more quality for the Champions League next season.
Arsenal and Chelsea recently did a deal too given that Jorginho traded Stamford Bridge for North London.
Sterling hasn’t quite lived up to his billing at Chelsea, managing just four goals and two assists in 18 appearances.
It’s natural that Arsenal would have one eye on his situation ahead of a possible move.
Adding Sterling to the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli would give Arsenal some outstanding attacking options.
For now, Chelsea don’t appear to have plans to sell but you can be sure that Arteta and Edu will be keeping a watching brief on Sterling moving forward.
