Instead of Sterling? Arsenal considered another player for the winger position

Arsenal considered a surprising Premier League star signing before finalizing Raheem Sterling's transfer from Chelsea. The 29-year-old forward joined the Gunners on loan until the end of the season after losing his place in the Blues' starting lineup.

Details: However, Sterling wasn’t the only candidate for the winger position. According to Mail Sport, among the attacking options considered was Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo. On the final day of the transfer window, Arsenal were also offered Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman.

According to Transfermarkt, Mbeumo's market value is estimated at €40 million. Notably, the striker has already netted three goals this season.
