Arsenal and Tottenham have been joined by Real Madrid in the race to sign Raheem Sterling this summer, according to reports. The Manchester City and England forward has one-year remaining on his deal at the Etihad, opening the potential for a move away.
It comes at an important moment for both north London clubs, who are looking to build upon their respective successes this season. For the Gunners, their rebuild saw the fanbase united behind a promising young side again, putting the foundations in place for the next campaign.
Reflecting on the season, Mikel Arteta said: “They [supporters] can see what we’re doing, what the players want to do, how they represent the club, the values on and off the pitch, who we are as a group. And then we have the level that we have and it’s not been enough. We have to make a clear assessment on that and how we take the club to the next level. If we want to do that, we know what we have to do.”
