With the Premier League title race heating up, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has emphasized the importance of Raheem Sterling stepping up for the team. Arsenal is currently dealing with multiple injuries in their attacking lineup, making Sterling’s contribution crucial. Despite his vast experience, the 30-year-old winger has struggled to make an impact since joining the club, scoring just one goal in 19 appearances—a Carabao Cup strike against Bolton.
Sterling was substituted in the 69th minute of Arsenal’s recent clash against Leicester when the score was still 0-0. His replacement, Mikel Merino, made an immediate impact by scoring two goals to secure a vital win for the Gunners. Addressing concerns about Sterling’s confidence, Arteta stated that the club is fully supporting him and expects him to deliver when it matters most.
Arteta highlighted that past performances no longer guarantee future success, and Sterling must focus on influencing upcoming matches. He praised Sterling’s training efforts, insisting the winger is “fully focused” and ready to contribute. With Arsenal pushing for the title, Arteta stressed that every player must adopt a winning mindset, and Sterling’s best form is essential for the team’s ambitions.
