Arsenal during the summer signing brought in new players as Mikel Arteta hope to win more silverware with the London club.
Former Chelsea winger, Raheem Sterling has been warned he may have to settle for a place on Arsenal as he begins a new era with the London club.
Sterling signed for Arsenal on a season long loan deal after he was told he has no place in Enzo Maresca’s team.The England international came on as a late substitute against Tottenham last Sunday and then again in the Champions League against Atalanta on Thursday.
Former Liverpool and Ireland defender Mark Lawrenson has now stated that Sterling will likely have to settle for making an impact off the bench.

“At Arsenal, I think Raheem Sterling will solely be used for squad depth, I don’t see him breaking into the starting team,” he told Paddy Power. “I’d imagine that the manager will have already told him that he’ll be a 25-minute man each week and that will be it, unless he does well when he gets a chance.”
Sterling may be given another chance to impress under Arteta when they come up against his former team Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
Arsenal are tipped to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title and a win at Etihad will prove they have what it takes to challenge Pep Guardiola’s team.
