Arsenal will be actively looking to make an attacking signing on transfer deadline day.
The Gunners have signed goalkeeper David Raya, defender Riccardo Calafiori and midfielder Mikel Merino.
The attacking position is the only one they have overlooked so far in the transfer window but that could change soon.
The Gunners are considering Chelsea's Raheem Sterling, who has been told by Blues manager Enzo Maresca that he should look for a new club as he will not get playing time at Stamford Bridge this season.
However, according to The Independent, in order for there to be an agreement between the two London rivals, Chelsea will have to contribute to Sterling's leadership.
This English player has been pointed towards Chelsea since the start of the Premier League season when the player was left by Maresca.
The Chelsea manager then confirmed that the former Manchester City player is not in his plans for the club.
Since then, Sterling has been looking at his options and has attracted interest from Manchester United, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.
The Gunners have now joined the race to sign Sterling but it remains to be seen whether Chelsea are willing to contribute to his money.
Arsenal bought Kai Havertz from Chelsea last summer
Arsenal and Chelsea have done business in recent seasons, with the latest being Kai Havertz who left the West London club for the North Londoners.
The German was one of Arsenal's best players last season and contributed goals and assists in their second-place finish in the Premier League.
Sterling could have a similar impact due to his quality and experience at the top level but Mikel Arteta will have to face stiff competition from other clubs to secure his services.
The 29-year-old will not be short of buyers on transfer deadline day.
