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.

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.
