Arsenal attacker Raheem Sterling has joined a fresh agency group. It has been confirmed by 16NinetyTwo that the on-loan Chelsea forward is now part of the group.
He is by far the biggest name so far associated with them and it comes at a time whereby both his short and long-term future are in doubt. Since moving to Arsenal in a surprise summer deadline day exit, he has struggled for game time.
Just over four months in, Sterling has only scored one goal, with that coming in the Carabao Cup against League One side Bolton Wanderers. He has also found himself down the pecking order on either wing with appearances restricted to only six in the Premier League.
In total, Sterling has started just five games under Mikel Arteta in all competitions. He has recently been dealing with a knee injury, meaning that his last outing was over six weeks ago, as a substitute away at West Ham.
With Arsenal dealing with injury issues across the squad, Sterling’s standing has been questioned whilst potential loan replacements are touted. However, Arteta has remained behind his player.
“There’s been moments,” he said last month. “It’s been tough and very difficult for me as well to accept that I haven’t given him more. When he hasn’t started the games, 90 per cent of the subs that I make is related to saving minutes or because of injuries or avoiding injuries. It’s not tactical reasons.
