Jose Enrique has claimed on his Instagram story it’s ‘good news’ for Liverpool that Gabriel Jesus is heading to Arsenal and Raheem Sterling possibly to Chelsea.
The former Premier League left-back added that Arsenal possibly adding Jesus to their ranks this summer is a ‘great signing’ by the club.
Liverpool and Manchester City have been the two top dogs in the Premier League for a number of years now, with both Jesus and Sterling playing a huge part in their success.
On the last day of the 2021/22 Premier League season, Pep Guardiola helped Man City win a fourth Premier League title in five at the expense of those on Merseyside.
Whilst Erling Haaland has walked through the doors this summer, amid these rumours that Jesus and Sterling could head towards the exit door.
Enrique thinks it’s a positive for the Reds possibly because Manchester City are losing some proven performers in the final third
“Great signing for Arsenal,” said Enrique. “Man City is selling him and probably Sterling as well to Chelsea for what it looks like.
“Good news for us (Liverpool) I believe, Reds.”
WHO WILL GET THE BETTER DEAL, CHELSEA OR ARSENAL?
If both Arsenal and Chelsea conclude the rumoured transfers for Jesus and Sterling, who will get the better deal out of the two?
There are suggestions that the Gunners are going to pay Manchester City £50 million for their Brazil international, who has one-year left to run on his contract.
Whilst Sterling could be headed back to London for a little less, with £45 million being muted for the England international – he too has one-year left on his current deal at the Etihad.
Both Arsenal and Chelsea need more firepower heading into the new season, with Mikel Arteta keen to bring a number nine to north London.
Thomas Tuchel is preparing to let Romelu Lukaku leave, after his quite disastrous return last summer, so he is going to need a few extra goals in the locker.
Sterling is the better player between the two, and at a seemingly lower price, Chelsea might be the ones getting the better deal here.
