A surprise rumor is buzzing around the transfer market in the recent days for the Blues star Noni Madueke to the Gunners. But now Arsenal has successfully completed the signing of the Chelsea and English international winger Noni Madueke. The deal was completed with a fee worth £52 million and also includes some add-ons. The move has not been officially announced yet but confirmed by Fabrizio Romano. As the Gunners hunt for new players in the market is still not stopping. With a vision to build a quality squad for the upcoming season. The 23-year-old English winger has struggled for minutes at the Stamford Bridge. But this season he has shown his quality in the latter part of the season for the Blues. As the Blues were already looking to reduce their squad number in size with the rules and regulations of the FA.
What does Arsenal gain from Noni Madueke?
Noni Madueke brings with him speed and dribbling with creativity on the wings. His vision for passing along with one-on-one dribbles can make him important for Arteta’s system of play. At the Blues, Madueke did not enjoy a regular run of play in the early years in the team. He was troubled with injuries and irregular form in games. But this season he has shown why he can be valued highly by the teams. He has scored goals in the key decisive matches for the Blues. Including the UEFA Europa Conference League Finals and continues to score for them in the extended FIFA Club World Cup campaign in the US. With his inclusion in the Gunner’s squad, it will help Gunner’s boss Arteta to remove pressure from both his wingers. As Madueke can play from both wings it will help the team overall.
Chelsea’s approach without Noni Madueke:
The Blue’s decision to allow Noni Madueke to leave reflects on their plan under Enzo Maresca. As they look to reduce the already big squad before making any more additions to it. Chelsea boss Enzo stated that Noni had the last call in his departure from the team. As the player wanted a switch of sides but the club would have been happy to continue with him for the future. But it was his own decision to leave the side. As the Italian already said that it was the final call of the player to stay or move from the club. While Noni departs from the Blues, they are set to welcome the 18-year-old talent from Brazil Estevao from Palmeiras. As Noni is currently with the team he will formally depart from the side at the end of the FIFA CWC campaign with the Blues.
Fans’ reaction to Noni Madueke’s transfer:
Noni Madueke’s transfer to the Gunners has sparked negative reactions from their own fans. In the social media, #NOTOMADUEKE has gained popular attention from the fans. As the fans stated their disappointment stating that spending such a large sum of amount for a backup player for Saka and Martinelli seems a very bad move for Arteta and his team. Further stating they should have gone with cheaper options and should have used this extra sum on big players like Victor Gyökeres. But many fans have also put their trust in Arteta’s decision and see that this transfer will help in the future.
Author’s opinion:
Noni Madueke’s move from Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge to Arsenal’s Emirates is an exciting move in the Premier League. For the Gunners, this deal for £52 million is not cheap for a backup player as like Madueke. But given his performance this season he can be an exciting and key player for the Gunners in the next season.
