Ex-Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling has been arrested on suspicion of drug driving this week.

The 31-year-old’s career has suffered a sad decline over recent years, with the 31-year-old failing to replicate the levels he reached at Man City since leaving the Premier League side in 2022.

Sterling was tipped to be a huge success at Chelsea, but the transfer proved a disaster, and he was only a bit-part player for Arsenal during last season’s loan spell.

In January this year, Sterling had his Chelsea contract terminated by mutual consent, and a few weeks later he joined Eredivisie side Feyenoord on a deal until the end of this season.

The experienced forward, who has 82 England caps, has one assist in his eight appearances for Feyenoord, but he finds himself in hot water after being arrested this week.

It emerged on Saturday morning that he was arrested on Thursday morning on suspicion of drug driving after his Lamborghini crashed into barriers on the M3 in Hampshire.

Sky Sports have reported that his arrest is ‘under suspicion’, while a statement from Hampshire Police has revealed four reasons for his arrest.

The Hampshire Police statement given to The Athletic read: “Just before 9am on Thursday, we received reports that a Lamborghini was in collision with barriers on the M3 southbound, close to the Minley Interchange.

“No other vehicles were involved and no injuries were reported.

“The driver, a 31-year-old man, from Berkshire, has been arrested on suspicion of driving a vehicle whilst unfit through drugs, driving dangerously, possession of a Class C drug and failing to provide a specimen. He has been bailed while our enquiries continue.”
