"I hope we see the Raheem Sterling we saw at Liverpool and Manchester City, but I don't think we will see him reach those levels at Arsenal," Hamann told Flashscore.
"He is 29 years old now, he's losing his pace and tenacity. If you look at his form, he's gone backwards since leaving Manchester City. I doubt he'll improve again."
Hamann's comments suggest that Sterling's best days may be behind him, and if things fail to work out at Arsenal, it is unlikely he will be afforded a chance at a top club next season.
