The Chelsea winger has been frozen out of Enzo Maresca’s squad, and he needs to leave the club in order to rescue his international career.
Sterling has been out of the England squad for quite some time now, and his situation at Chelsea certainly isn’t going to help matters.
According to The Mail, Sterling is now waiting on news on deadline day as Arsenal speak about making a move.
Raheem Sterling waiting on Arsenal move
According to this report, Sterling is on standby waiting for a move, with Arsenal in talks with Chelsea at the moment.
Interestingly, according to Kieran Gill, the author of this article. Arsenal are now the likeliest club to sign the £50m man on deadline day.

This comes after Manchester United were strongly linked earlier this week.
Sterling could be set for a move across London, following in the footsteps of both Jorginho and Kai Havertz in recent times.
Arsenal move for Sterling won’t be easy
Arsenal are the likeliest team to sign Sterling, but this deal is far from a foregone conclusion.
It’s said that there’s a 50% chance that Sterling stays at Chelsea, and the big problem here is the player’s wages.
The £50m man is one of the highest-earning players in the Premier League, and Arsenal may not be too keen to alter their wage structure for a player who wouldn’t be a guaranteed starter.
With Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard in the squad already, there’s no guarantee that Sterling would get gametime at Arsenal.
Whether or not this move comes to fruition remains to be seen, but this is undoubtedly one of the biggest stories on deadline day.
