Arsenal forward Raheem Sterling floors teammate as training ground clip emerges

New Arsenal player and summer transfer deadline day loan signing Raheem Sterling is already showing his teammates what he is capable of in training, leaving one of them on the floor in a clip uploaded by the club on X (formerly Twitter).

The 29-year-old joined Arsenal temporarily from Chelsea for the rest of the season and will be desperate to prove Blues manager Enzo Maresca wrong.

The Italian axed Sterling from the first-team at the Stamford Bridge club, insisting the England international does not fit his style of play.

Arsenal have now offered him a chance to win the Premier League title this season, and the attacker is eager to hit the ground running.

Sterling reported at the Sobha Realty Training Centre on Monday and is planning to keep working hard over the coming days while some of the players not on international duty take a short break.

He was involved in the latest training session involving the likes of Ben White, Jorginho and many of the youth players.

One of the Arsenal under-23 stars could be seen marking Sterling regularly, only for the experienced attacker to leave him on the floor 45 seconds into the video, with the youngster audibly unimpressed with his failure to contain the summer arrival.

Being able to comfortably beat an opponent in one-on-one situations is one of the key strengths of Sterling, and Gunners manager Mikel Arteta knows he has what it takes to improve his attack.

The Arsenal number 30 could make his debut against Tottenham Hotspur on September 15, and an incredible performance in the North London derby will immediately see him win some of the doubting fans over.

The former Manchester City star has been playing professionally since 17, but he still has plenty to offer and reuniting with Arteta could be one of his best career decisions to date.
