Mikel Areta has admitted that Arsenal discovers his best form as soon as possible.
Sterling has so far not impressed himself after his summer loan from Chelsea, but after a number of injuries to strikers Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, came into the starting line -up.
At a sub -actor, his excursion against Leicester City was restricted shortly after the hour, with Arsenal’s final game winner Mikel Merino taking his place on the field.
Despite the concerns of fans about Sterling’s role, Areta supported the winger to play an important role in the rest of the season if he can rediscover the form he previously shown in his career.
“He must have [a big impact] Because we really need him, “said Areta.
“Raheem is so experienced, and how many other players we know that what they had yesterday was not really good or not. That could be relevant for the next game, for the next action. He is fully focused Really trains this week and he is ready to go again.
When asked whether Sterling has to struggle with confidence after only four starts of the Premier League, Areta continued: “Hopefully not because we try to give him as much as possible, but that’s a question for him .
“We are all behind him, we want the best for him and it is important that we need his best. We only need players with this way of thinking to influence the team. He does everything he can so that it works. “
