Arsenal have officially confirmed that winger Raheem Sterling will leave the club at the end of the season, as part of a wider squad update that sees several players departing the Emirates this summer.
The news was shared on the club’s official website, as the Gunners prepare for an important summer transfer window aimed at reshaping their squad under Mikel Arteta.
Sterling, who arrived at Arsenal following a high-profile move from Chelsea, leaves the North London club after a season long loan.
While his time in red and white did not match the dazzling heights of his spells at Manchester City or Liverpool, Sterling brought valuable experience and depth to the Arsenal attack during his tenure.
Raheem Sterling is leaving Arsenal
Arsenal expressed their appreciation for Sterling’s professionalism and contribution to the squad.
With the club looking to make new signings in the wide attacking positions, Sterling’s departure from the club was inevitable.
Although he joined the club from London rivals Chelsea in a loan move, had he impressed Arteta and his management, the Gunners would have thought about making the move permanent.
However, the English star completely looked out of form during his time with the Gunners and failed to replicate the form he once showed in his career for Manchester City and Liverpool.
Sterling made a number of appearances across all competitions but found consistent minutes hard to come by, especially with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli acting as the club’s starting players in the wide positions.
Mikel Arteta is eyeing attacking players this summer
The winger is now set to return to Chelsea with his loan deal expiring and the Blues may look to offload him in a permanent move this summer.
Arsenal’s announcement included a total of 20 player exits as part of their summer reshuffle, signaling a significant overhaul ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
In the attacking position, the Gunners are eyeing a move for RB Leipzig attacker Benjamin Sesko.
Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman is another player on the radar of the club this summer.

Arsenal must act and not be involved in too much talking with zero action. 🤔
Sure
This constant show of interest in good players and not buying should stop
one person needs to leave and that is Arteta
yeah we have had stories from them🔦🔦🔦🔦🔦🔦 with no striker
This show of interest in players every time and ended up not buying any is so annoying. One would expect Arsenal to have sealed a deal for a player or two by now, but all we kept hearing is show of interest. If only the management of this club know how the fans feel about this, they wouldn’t be doing this season by season.
every season we hear about top players’ names being mentioned for possible signing but at the end of the transfer window nothing positive comes out, rather they end up buying laid off players from rival clubs and elsewhere.
we are supporters who need positive results. this interest of players seems to be a norm at the club always. look at Isak, Garcia but no results. how can a manager say he wants to buy a first choice keeper at Sociedad and tell him that he will be a second keeper. the board and the manager should act fast not to buy spent forces.
We need strikers
arsenal think before buying you always buy players who are not angry with football like Liverpool players play with Total anger in the field of play….each and every game should be considered a final game….we are tired of playing second fiddle in EPL be hungry men like the lady’s team fearless! all players of Arsenal are good but don’t put much effort
Big talk but no ACTION.Teams that know what they are doing are Man City,Chelsea and Liverpool.We,Arsenal supporters are left frustrated by excuses year in and year out.You see people who seem to know as to what is wrong with their business.THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!
This time we need results Next season we must fight and get the trophy 🏆, please sign strikers and defenders of possible now .we can’t be a laughing stock every season.
Arsenal needs a productive striker, enough of this trophy drought
even he supposed to go since o.We don’t need anymore.pls leave our club.
I’m arsenal supporter for decades now. Arsenal need a finisher who is clinical. How can a good club like arsenal admire the likes of Raheem Sterling,Willian,Jorginho,Petr Cech and Danny Welbeck whom are reject from their clubs surely and you expect to win a trophy 🏆. Mikel Arteta must style up and wake up and look for a clinical finisher like Sesko.
