Raheem Sterling has no plans to end his ARSENAL loan spell early, despite the winger’s lack of minutes under Mikel Arteta, according to the latest reports on the Daily Mirror this weekend.
Sterling joined Chelsea from Man City in 2022 for a fee of £47.5million, with the England international tallying 31 direct goal contributions [19 goals, 12 assists] in 81 appearances for the Blues.
However – the decision was made in the summer transfer window that he would be allowed to leave Chelsea and make the loan move to Arsenal, who were interested in adding a bit more depth to that Gunners side.
But Blues winger Sterling, 30, has failed to make much of an impact on the pitch since joining the Gunners in a temporary switch back in August. He has played 11 games for Mikel Arteta’s side to date, registering just one goal and two assists for Arsenal.
Sterling was handed a rare start in Arsenal’s Carabao Cup win over Crystal Palace last week – but he’s struggled for minutes across the Premier League and Champions League – and is regularly an unused substitute.
Despite his lack of game time, though, Chelsea have decided they will not recall Sterling from his season-long loan at the Emirates in the January transfer window, according to The Athletic.
And the Daily Mirror has claimed that the winger has also made the decision that he wants to stay at Arsenal for the remainders of the season, especially as Bukayo Saka could be out of action for some time.

Sterling is done at Chelsea , he is probably done at the very highest level of the game and his next move could be the MLS or Saudi Arabia, as they could meet his massive wage demands.
Chelsea need to sell the player at the end of the season, get those wages off the books and bring in some fresh talent. He is happy at ARSENAL, even though he is not playing, so that could be his last big club that he plays for.
