Noni Madueke has revealed he wants to "win it all" and help Arsenal "take that next step" to silverware. The Gunners shelled out £52 million (€60m/$69.9m) for the winger, who has signed a five-year contract at the Emirates Stadium. The transfer was finalised on Friday, sending a clear message about the Gunners' ambitions for the upcoming season.
Arsenal’s decision to sign winger Noni Madueke from Chelsea in a £52 million ($70m) transfer continues to generate waves of discussion and none more vocal than that of former club star Paul Merson. The ex-midfielder has admitted he’s “flabbergasted” by the club’s latest move in the transfer market, raising questions not only about the player’s ability but also what it might mean for fan-favourite Bukayo Saka.
Mikel Arteta explained why he keeps raiding Stamford Bridge for new signings after Arsenal completed Noni Madueke and Kepa Arrizabalaga's transfer from Chelsea this summer. Madueke became the sixth Blues player to move to Emirates since Arteta took charge of the club and 10th player in the past 10 years. The Gunners faced criticism from fans following the confirmation of Madueke's arrival.
Noni Madueke has cut short his holiday and joined Arsenal's pre-season training camp despite travelling to the US with the Chelsea squad for the Club World Cup earlier this summer. The 23-year-old English winger left the Blues after two seasons as he joined the Gunners for £52 million (€60m/$69.9m). Madueke joined Arsenal's training a week before the rest of the team returned from their Asia tour.
Noni Madueke might have been smiling after Arsenal’s 3-0 cruise past Nottingham Forest, but the winger was dealt a stinging jab from Martin Keown straight after the final whistle. The ex-Gunners hardman told the 22-year-old, to his face, that he had once seen him as “selfish”. It was a bold claim, especially on live TV, but Keown insisted that while Madueke has shown flair since swapping Chelsea blue for Arsenal red, he has finally started to balance his individual brilliance with more team-focused play.
Thomas Tuchel admits that Bukayo Saka has given him a nice "problem", with the Arsenal winger starring for England against Wales after seeing club colleague Noni Madueke miss out through injury. Saka, making his first appearance for the Three Lions since facing Senegal in June, scored a stunning goal for the Three Lions as they eased to a 3-0 victory over geographical neighbours at Wembley Stadium.
Marco Silva has rejected claims that Arsenal are suffering an injury crisis, using his pre-game Friday press conference ahead of his Fulham side's Premier League clash with the Gunners to highlight the strength of Mikel Arteta's squad. The Gunners will be without a bevy of attacking talent for the fixture, with Noni Madueke, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus all absent.
Noni Madueke is reportedly facing a lengthy spell out after suffering a knee injury during Arsenal's Premier League clash against Manchester City on Sunday. Madueke was replaced by a returning Bukayo Saka at the break after sustaining the knock in the first half, with Arsenal eventually grinding out a 1-1 draw at the Emirates.
Arsenal were dealt a scare during their 1-1 draw with Manchester City on Sunday as Noni Madueke, their most dangerous attacker in the first half, was substituted at the break. Mikel Arteta revealed after the game that the winger, who has impressed in recent weeks while deputising for Bukayo Saka, suffered an injury that prevented him from playing on into the second half.
