Kai Havertz says Arsenal players love having Raheem Sterling around
Speaking to Stadium Astro, Havertz waxed lyrical about summer signing Raheem Sterling and noted the dressing room is really happy to have him.
“It’s incredible,” the 25-year-old said.
“I had the joy to play with him at Chelsea. He’s an incredible player. If you see his stats in the Premier League it’s outstanding.
“You see how much quality he brings to the team and I think we are all very happy to have him.”
Raheem Sterling could start vs Atalanta
Sterling made his Arsenal debut off the bench yesterday and could start from the off against Atalanta in the Champions League on Thursday.
Gabriel Martinelli was given the nod so considering there’s a pretty short turnaround, Arteta may opt for the fresh legs of Sterling on the left.
Plus, the former Manchester City attacker has plenty of European experience and will be well-equipped to perform on the biggest stage in club football.
