“Transfer Deadline Day: Arsenal Sets Two Conditions for Signing Raheem Sterling from Chelsea”
Arsenal is prepared to pursue a deal for Raheem Sterling from Chelsea on transfer deadline day, but with two specific conditions, according to the UK Independent.
Firstly, Arsenal wants Chelsea to terminate Sterling’s contract, as they are not willing to pay a transfer fee for the 29-year-old forward, who still has three years remaining on his current deal.
Secondly, Sterling must agree to a pay cut from his current £325,000-a-week salary at Chelsea. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who has previously worked with Sterling at Manchester City, is keen to bring him on board if these conditions are met.
