Former Manchester United striker Gary Neville has expressed doubts about Arsenal’s genuine interest in signing Raheem Sterling from Chelsea, despite manager Mikel Arteta pushing for the move.

Arteta reportedly urged the Gunners to bring Sterling to the Emirates on a loan deal, as the winger found himself sidelined at Chelsea under manager Enzo Maresca.

However, Sterling has struggled to make an impact at Arsenal, managing only one goal in 21 appearances.

“Do you know what I think they have done? In the last part of the summer transfer window, I’m not sure Arsenal wanted to sign Raheem Sterling,” Neville said on The Overlap with Sky Bet.

“I’m not sure Arsenal, as a club, wanted him. I think Arteta thought Sterling could play in all the positions up top and basically told the club to get him in as cover.

“I think that is what he said. He can play across the frontline, so Arteta has looked at him as his second or third striker.”
