Arsenal have no plans to sign Raheem Sterling permanently after his season-long loan deal expires. Mikel Arteta has been disappointed with the England international's performances this season and will turn his attention to other options in the transfer market.
Neto is also reportedly set to leave Arsenal and return to Bournemouth after both of their Premier League loan spells were unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling and Neto have started just 12 games together this season, failing to make a significant impact in the first team.
Now, the Chelsea loanee will have to return to Stamford Bridge, despite being left out of Enzo Maresca's plans, who took over at the Blues last summer. Arteta has not been impressed with Sterling's performance in training, meaning the Englishman has no future at the Emirates, despite Chelsea being keen to make him a permanent signing.
Injuries to Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka have provided Raheem Sterling with the opportunity to make his mark at the Emirates, but his failure to score seems to have ended his Arsenal career. Sterling is keen to join a Premier League club when he leaves Arsenal, although he is not currently in the market for a move. The winger has attracted interest from several clubs in the Saudi Professional League, but it is said that he is not yet ready for a move to the Middle East at this stage of his career.
Arsenal are planning a summer transfer spree to free up funds to make room for new signings. Jorginho and Thomas Partey are set to leave when their contracts expire, with replacements already being considered. Arteta has detailed plans in the transfer market and has identified backup options for Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard. Meanwhile, Nuno Tavares and Albert Sambi Lokonga will both leave the club permanently once their loan spells at the Emirates end.
