Arsenal has initiated talks with Chelsea regarding the loan of Raheem Sterling

The transfer saga surrounding Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling is intensifying. Arsenal has entered negotiations with the Blues, according to BBC.

The discussion centers on a one-year loan deal. Additionally, The Athletic reports that this transfer is expected to occur before the end of the transfer window, with all parties remaining optimistic. Raheem Sterling is prepared to join Arsenal, even on loan. Now, the situation rests with Arsenal, as this option was only presented to them today.

It is worth recalling that Chelsea has firmly decided to offload winger Raheem Sterling and is seeking to place him with any club before the transfer window closes.

Chelsea has contacted Arsenal to inform them that Sterling is available for acquisition.

By the way, here are reports of a potential swap for Manchester United colleague Jadon Sancho, who has previously agreed a move to the Blues.
