Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling has completed a late transfer deadline day 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 switch.
“It [the move] is one where we kind of left it late, but it’s one I was hoping for.
Sterling made 81 appearances for Chelsea and scored 19 goals after joining from Manchester City for £50m in July 2022.
The former Liverpool player was one of the first to arrive at Stamford Bridge following the takeover by co-controlling owners Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly.
However, after making 43 appearances in all competitions for the club last season, he was out of the first-team picture under Maresca.
