The switch comes as something of a surprise, as Madueke was a first-team regular for Maresca in the 2024-25 season. He scored 11 times for Chelsea in all competitions, and his club form saw him rewarded with his first senior caps in an England shirt. However, Maresca said the impetus behind the move came from the 23-year-old himself, and that the club did not want him to leave. Reports surrounding Madueke's questionable discipline and poor performances in training have surfaced in the past 24 hours.
AFPWHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA AND MADUEKE?
Maresca's attention will be fully squared on the Club World Cup final. The Blues manager has plenty of options to fill Madueke's spot in the starting XI, with a glut of wide forwards and attacking midfielders to call upon, including the newly-acquired Joao Pedro. The Brazilian scored twice on debut in Chelsea's semi-final win over Fluminense. Madueke presumably now has to wrestle the starting position on Arsenal's left flank away from Gabriel Martinelli, with Leandro Trossard potentially departing for Fenerbahce in the coming days.
