Arsenal transfer news: Mikel Arteta sent warning as goalkeeper target breaks silence

Mikel Arteta has been told not to consider a move for Raheem Sterling as the England international looks to force his way out of Chelsea while Arsenal bank £2m after academy star seals move

While Arsenal fans wait patiently for an update around the potential signing of midfielder Mikel Merino and a possible late move to acquire a new centre-forward, Mikel Arteta has already been warned against weighing up an approach to take Raheem Sterling off Chelsea's hands.

Meanwhile, the Arsenal chief will see the transfer kitty boosted by a couple of million after a former academy star sealed a big-money move in the Championship.

And with Aaron Ramsdale heading to Wolves, a possible goalkeeping target is remaining tightlipped around a potential switch in the next few days.

Mikel Arteta should not sign Raheem Sterling for Arsenal due to the winger's age and inconsistencies, according to club icon Emmanuel Petit.

England ace Sterling, who turns 30 in December, was widely expected to be a part of Enzo Maresca's Premier League plans this season, despite missing out on Gareth Southgate's Euro 2024 squad. But despite having a full pre-season, he was surprisingly left out of the Blues' matchday squad for their opening weekend 2-0 loss at home to Manchester City.
