Arsenal have bolstered their title challenge after rescuing Raheem Sterling from his exile at Chelsea, who are poised to add to their ranks of wingers by landing Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho on loan with an obligation to buy. But Enzo Maresca’s hopes of bringing in a striker were thwarted by the club failing to prise Victor Osimhen away from Napoli.
After another frantic transfer window at Chelsea, and a day full of uncertainty, there was some satisfaction for the club that they were finally able to find a new home for Sterling. Arsenal emerged as the main contenders for the 29-year-old winger, whose hopes of a move had been complicated by his £325,000-a-week contract, and his season’s loan was confirmed shortly before 1.50am BST. There is no loan fee.
