With four Premier League titles to his name, Sterling is precisely the kind of winner Arsenal are looking to have in the squad, ahead of what supporters hope will be their third consecutive title charge.

With extensive top-flight experience, he will help develop the mentality side of the squad, which will be paramount to overthrowing Manchester City from their position.

Alongside Sterling's experience with Manchester City, his experience against the club is also worth considering, at least based on last season. He tormented the City defence in both of Chelsea's Premier League fixtures against Pep Guardiola's men, scoring in both as well. Were he to recreate something similar in an Arsenal shirt, it would not go amiss.
