Former Arsenal star, David Bentley has said that the Gunners summer loan signing, Chelsea attacker, Raheem Sterling, is a great addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad.
Bentley is backing the 29-year-old England international to shine at the Emirates.
Sterling, a former Liverpool and Manchester City forward, joined Arsenal from Chelsea in the last minutes of this summer transfer window on a season-long loan deal.
Mikel Arteta’s decision to sign the England international has been questioned after his underwhelming performances for Chelsea.
The former Liverpool man could only manage 19 goals and 12 assists in 81 games for the Blues across competitions.
However, Bentley told Tribal Football, “He’s a great addition. He’s got a great attitude; he’s a productive player and he’s always going to travel with the ball.
“He’s still only 29, which is incredible. They’ve now got Saka, Trossard, Martinelli and now Sterling.
“That’s as good as anybody’s got if you’re looking at a forward line. They’ve got four players that can really make a difference, and they’re all honest players that will just keep going and they’re productive.
“But Sterling’s been outstanding at Manchester City. He’s been outstanding at Liverpool, the top clubs in the country, so he knows how to win matches and having that experience in the dressing room is only going to be a positive, not least for the other young players.”
