As the Premier League transfer window draws to a close, Arsenal FC are in the thick of the hunt for new recruits who can bolster their squad. According to a new report from The Independent's chief soccer writer Miguel Delaney, Arsenal have set their sights on Sterling and Kingsley Coman in anticipation of adding new dynamics to the attacking end of the team and serving as a capable replacement for star man Saka.
Sterling, the former Manchester City winger, is not as good as he would like to be at Chelsea and has been told in no uncertain terms that he will not be given a heavy role in the new season. He is desperate to seek a move and Arsenal have emerged as one of the potential underlings. Arteta has a strong mentor-mentee relationship with Sterling from his time at Manchester City, and he has appreciated Sterling's explosiveness and attitude to the game. Despite doubts about Sterling's form, Arteta is confident that he will be able to integrate into Arsenal's tactical system and bring positive changes to the team. However, with Chelsea still liable for part of Sterling's contract and wages, as well as Arsenal's limited budget, the deal faces considerable challenges.
Meanwhile, Kingsley Coman has emerged as an alternative target for Arsenal. With Bayern Munich committed to cutting their wage bill, Coman has become a hot player in the market. Several European giants have thrown their hat into the ring for the French winger, and Arsenal are no exception. Coman's speed and ability to break through is exactly what Arsenal needs, he is expected to become a new weapon in the attacking end of the team other than Saca. But given the competition from a number of clubs, Arsenal will need to act quickly in the last minute of the transfer market to be successful in signing Coman.
