Arsenal target cut-price Raheem Sterling deal but late move rests on one condition

Arsenal are weighing up moves for Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling or Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman having been approached about both in the final two days of the transfer window.

Sterling, who has been told he will not play under manager Enzo Maresca, would be keen on the move but any deal would require Chelsea settling part of his contract and wages.

Mikel Arteta wants an explosive player to give Arsenal more options in attack, but the top target of Nico Williams wants to stay in Spain to achieve his long-term ambition of eventually joining Barcelona.

Get ready for transfer chaos: Chelsea and Manchester United race to solve problem causing deadline day frenzy

This little circle involving some of the biggest clubs features many of the forces that have made this transfer window so quiet so far – but could yet see a frenzy on the final day. Some executives have told the Independent they are expecting “bedlam” on Friday, as everyone now rushes to deals after months of build-up.

The talks between Chelsea and United point to how they are part of several major clubs – including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona – who now actively want to sell players.

That is because the entire market has essentially reached an impasse after years, rather than just months, of paying huge wages. It’s why many in the industry now believe this could be the start of a cycle that sees salaries significantly drop for the first time. Some have even taken to calling it football’s new age of austerity.
