'Sterling is a very clever signing'

Former England captain Steph Houghton believes Raheem Sterling will be a "good signing" for Arsenal because the winger has already worked with Mikel Arteta at Manchester City.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, Houghton said: "One of Sterling's best seasons at Manchester City was when Arteta was there.

"I know they worked really closely together in terms of his movement and finishing - so I think it is a very clever signing.

"He has got experience and there is going to be a lot of rotation needed, especially with the Champions League. He has won trophies - he has been there and done it."
