Bukayo Saka has expressed his delight at the arrival of Raheem Sterling to Arsenal, revealing that he has already welcomed the new addition to the team. But he and his team-mates were left frustrated by the refereeing in his side’s 1-1 draw with Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
Sterling, who was spotted in the stands during the match at the Emirates, has joined the Gunners on a season-long loan from Chelsea.
The move came after Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca informed the winger that he would not be playing under his leadership.
The England international found himself sidelined from first-team training and stripped of his No.7 shirt following the arrival of Pedro Neto from Wolves.
After being omitted from the squad for the opening defeat to former club Manchester City, Sterling’s representatives publicly called for “clarity” over their client’s future.
