On the day of the transfer deadline, Arsenal struck a great deal for the winger.

On Thursday, Raheem Sterling entered the annals of Champions League history.
In the 73rd minute, the 29-year-old replaced Bukayo Saka to make his first appearance for Arsenal in a European match against Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium.Raheem Sterling made Champions League history last nightHe made history by being the first player to play in the Champions League for FOUR separate English clubs.

Ten years ago, he played his debut match in the competition with Liverpool against Ludogorets.  After that, Sterling moved on to Manchester City, where he stayed for seven years at the Etihad.

He assisted Pep Guardiola’s team to the 2021 Champions League final at that time, although they lost to Chelsea 1-0.A year later, the winger signed a contract with the Blues. During the previous season, Sterling dropped down the Stamford Bridge hierarchy.

He was given the go-ahead to depart Stamford Bridge earlier this summer and was not included in Enzo Maresca’s plans.

Just hours before the transfer window closed, Arsenal pounced to capture him on a season-long loan.The Gunners worked out a sweetheart agreement that included less than a 50% wage contribution and no fees. For Arsenal, Sterling has not yet started a game.

In the team’s 1-0 victory over Tottenham last week, he made his debut. And on Thursday, he made his second appearance against Atalanta.

At the Gewiss Stadium, the Gunners held the Europa League winners to a scoreless draw.

David Raya produced an incredible double-save to keep his team in the match.
