Pundit says Chelsea star would improve with Raheem Sterling at Arsenal

Raheem Sterling was the most surprising Arsenal transfer, so it's no wonder why he was signed on transfer deadline day. Albeit only on loan, the Chelsea star will represent Arsenal this season, re-joining forces with Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal fans have noticed quite a common trend and that is signing players from Chelsea. In the past, this would have been a no-go area. However, given the Blue side of London have a squad which could fill an entire stadium, it's quite impossible for Arsenal to avoid them in the transfer window these days.

However, there is one player who is struggling at Chelsea right now. In an alternate universe, he could have been striving at Arsenal, or at least it looked that way.

I am, of course, talking about Mykhailo Mudryk. The Ukraine international seemed destined to join Arsenal in January 2023. However, he signed for Chelsea instead.

Speaking to talkSPORT, former Chelsea player Scott Minto has revealed the scathing truth about both Mykhailo Mudryk and Chelsea but admittedly, his words were a lot harsher to Chelsea than the player himself.

In his own words, Minto said: “You talk about Mykhailo Mudryk, who Arsenal wanted. I am not sure he is (a great footballer). He certainly is not showing it at the moment."

Minto continued: “I think he would be a lot better in an Arsenal shirt than he would in a Chelsea shirt. That is an indictment of Chelsea.”

It's no secret that Chelsea are awful right now. Over the last few years, they have overspent and seemingly not researched their transfers before conducting them. From an Arsenal perspective, it is quite hilarious to witness.

What's even funnier is that Chelsea have not learned their lesson. In many ways, this phenomenon begun when Mykhailo Mudryk was signed and it's been more personified the longer he's spent failing in London. He simply isn't fit for Chelsea.

At Arsenal, though, things are different. For starters, the recruitment team do their job. In fact, that is an understatement, considering Edu Gaspar and co run a strict operation whereby only the best players are pinpointed for Arsenal to target.

Arsenal have never shut the door on Mudryk. In fact, Arteta is a big fan of him and it isn't like the Spaniard to take player decisions personally. However, since Leandro Trossard broke through, it is now impossible to imagine Mudryk in Arsenal red.
