And it seems the prospect of that happening would go down well with Gunners fans and with pundits.
Since the deadline day switch to the Emirates, Sterling's move has been hailed as a good piece of business, mainly for Arsenal and for the player himself.
Title contenders get a player who knows what it is like to win a title, a player who has been bombed out at a club that finished sixth last season gets a chance at one that finished second. Player leaves a club that is in the Europa Conference League for a club that is in the Champions League.
Player leaves a manager who clearly does not fancy him for a manager who has loved him in the past.
As many have said, it looks like a win-win-win situation for Sterling and Arsenal.
But here is what does not win, here is what does not come out of Sterling's imminent Arsenal debut well.
The Premier League's integrity.
