Update 🚨: Three Ways Arsenal Can line Up With Raheem Sterling as much-needed Bukayo Saka Plan Emerges✅

1. Raheem Sterling’s ability to play wide can allow Bukayo Saka periods of Rest.

It also offers them a right-footed option down the right as opposed to the left foot of Saka. That gives them the ability to mix things up and make their right-side attack more unpredictable, especially against teams who are likely to sit in, forcing Arsenal to break them down.

2. Kai Havertz may be able to further himself as the club’s No 10 if Raheem Sterling plays centrally – which also opens the possibility of Martin Odegaard having some time to recover.

The German scored in the draw with Brighton but, having never been signed as a striker, the long-term plan is unlikely to be to settle on Havertz as the team’s main source of goals. Sterling in his City days showed he can be prolific – often producing big numbers – and Arteta may back him to do so again.

3. Raheem Sterling – when he’s been most prolific – has played from the left.

Despite talk of Sterling serving as a back-up to Saka it is actually from the left where the Englishman is most comfortable. Like so many wingers these days playing on the opposite side to their preferred foot allows them to come inside and the left flank is perhaps one of the less secured spots in the Arsenal line-up
