Arsenal seal late loan move for Chelsea's Sterling

Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling has completed a late transfer deadline day loan move to Premier League rivals Arsenal.

The 29-year-old has agreed a season-long loan with Mikel Arteta's side.

The England international had been told he was not in the plans of new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca.

"It’s an unbelievable feeling. It’s really exciting," Sterling said of his move.

"It [the move] is one where we kind of left it late but it’s one I was hoping for.

"Looking at everything, I’m just, like, 'This is a perfect fit for me', and I’m super happy that we got it over the line.
