But Sterling looks set for a start on Wednesday night, with Arteta responding when asked about the winger’s impact: “Very good. He has had a few minutes already and tomorrow he has another opportunity. He is ready, he is really hungry to add more minutes and impact the team in the way that he can, and hopefully tomorrow we can see that.”
The clash could also provide more opportunities for Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly, two young players who have featured already in the Premier League this season. “I’m very proud of them,” added the Arsenal boss. “They are dealing with a situation that probably they didn’t expect. They have had the chance to play in two of the most historic and difficult grounds in the Premier League and they both responded really well.”
Sterling on Arsenal move
Speaking upon his arrival at Arsenal on deadline day, Sterling said: “I’m buzzing. It’s one where we left it late but it’s one I was hoping for. Looking at everything, I’m just like: ‘this is a perfect fit for me’, and I’m super happy that we got it over the line.“It’s a perfect fit for myself to be at a football club like this, where you can see that hunger, that desire, year on year, they are pushing and pushing and pushing. That’s exactly how I am as a person.
“Each year you want to get better and do better than the previous year. Hopefully I can gel really well with the boys and get going. It’s time now to meet the boys, get settled in and hopefully now see some game time and make my mark.”
