Arsenal lead Raheem Sterling race

Arsenal are leading the race for Manchester City attacking midfielder Raheem Sterling, according to The Sun. It has been reported by the British tabloid that the Gunners are interested in securing the services of the former Liverpool star in the summer transfer window.

City themselves are willing to part company with the England international and are ready to include him in a deal to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur. The Citizens paid £44 million for Sterling to sign him from Liverpool in the summer of 2015, and the 26-year-old, who can also operate as a winger, earns £300,000 per week as salary.

The problem that Arsenal could face in signing Sterling is convincing him to move to the North London club. The England international is used to winning the Premier League title and competing in the Champions League, and the Gunners will not even be in the Europa League in 2021-22.
