Raheem Sterling has been slammed as “one of the flops of the season” after breaking an early-season promise.
The England winger signed for Arsenal late in the summer transfer window, joining in a season-long loan deal from Premier League rivals Chelsea. But he has failed to hit the heights expected of him so far.
Sterling, 29, has made eight appearances for the Gunners – only two of which have been starts. His only goal contributions have come in the 5-1 win against League One side Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup.
And ex- Premier League forward Stan Collymore believes he has been the worst signing of the campaign. Speaking to the Metro, he said: “ Raheem Sterling has been a massive disappointment.
“He came in and said he was going to give the club his best work, but that hasn’t happened. He’s arguably stunk the place out so far and he’s definitely one of the flops of the season having promised to do his best work at Arsenal.
And while Sterling has disappointed thus far, Collymore hasn’t been particularly impressed with Arsenal’s other summer business. The Gunners also secured a big-money deal for former Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori after his starring role at Euro 2024.
