'To win it all' - Noni Madueke reveals his Arsenal goals and admits he wants to help the Gunners 'take that next step' to silverware

Madueke should strengthen Arsenal’s attacking options, especially in the wide areas, but might find himself behind regular starters Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. However, the transfer caused division among the Arsenal faithful, with some questioning the logic of spending big on a player who struggled for consistent minutes at Stamford Bridge. However, Mikel Arteta remained unwavering in his pursuit of the winger and is confident his dynamic style will add a valuable dimension to the team’s attack.

Speaking to the club’s media team after the announcement, Madueke explained his decision to join the north London giants.

“I'm somebody who goes with my gut feeling a lot of the time and I feel like it's steered me in the right direction so far," he said. "So, I don't think it's going to be any different here. I think it's going to be a great success and I'm really happy to be here. I’ve just been relaxed, waiting for the green light and when I came in today, it all felt real. I'm really happy and really proud, so it's a great moment for me. It's great to go back home, be with my mum, my dad. I know my mum misses me in the house!"

When asked about his ambitions for the 2025-26 season, Madueke didn't hold back. He added: "To win all the competitions we're in, I feel like we're definitely capable of doing that. And also to help the team in every way I can and grow as a player, but also as a person.”

Madueke won’t have to wait long to bond with his new teammates, as he is set to join Arsenal’s pre-season tour of Asia. The Gunners will face Serie A side AC Milan and Premier League rivals Newcastle United in Singapore before wrapping up the tour with a much-anticipated clash against Tottenham Hotspur in Hong Kong.
