Mikel Arteta has said Raheem Sterling must rebuild his confidence after being discarded by Chelsea and, before Sunday’s north London derby, has backed the England forward to rediscover his best form.
Sterling is in contention to make his Arsenal debut at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after completing his loan move on deadline day. The 29-year-old was surplus to requirements at Chelsea two years after joining from Manchester City and Arteta said it had taken only a 10-second conversation with Sterling to persuade him to pursue a deal.
