Raheem Sterling, Arsenal’s latest signing, has been assigned a shirt number he has never worn before following his move to the Emirates Stadium. The transfer was finalized on deadline day after a turbulent summer for the 29-year-old forward.
Sterling’s departure from Chelsea was preceded by a period of uncertainty. Just before Chelsea’s first game of the season, Sterling publicly questioned his exclusion from the squad. In response, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that Sterling would not feature in the team, relegating him to training with the U23s.
In search of a new opportunity, Sterling was eventually signed by Arsenal, where he will be reunited with his former Manchester City coach, Mikel Arteta. This move signifies a fresh chapter for the winger, who is expected to make a significant impact at Arsenal.
The Gunners announced on their social media platforms that Sterling will wear the No. 30 shirt for the upcoming season. Speaking to Arsenal’s in-house media, Sterling expressed his enthusiasm about joining the club and looking forward to contributing to the team’s success.
