Arsenal's first offensive signing of the summer is here! Arsenal of Chelsea acquired after goalkeeper Kepovi another player, this time a winger Noni Madueke. The transfer of the young England international has sparked a lot of interest in England and especially in the North London fan camp. contradictory reactions. Personally, I have no problem with Madueke coming to Arsenal, but there are a few "buts".
The first is the timing. If Arsenal already had all the main transfer targets in their squad, then buying Madueke would make more sense to me. Both from a football perspective and from a financial perspective.. Now that the Arsenal management still has the tasks of acquiring a top striker and a left winger ahead of them, I wonder if buying Madueke was a rash move. As for the stud player, Arsenal have been working hard for some time to transfer the Swedish bombardier Viktor Gyökereswhich will cost Arsenal around £70 million. That is, if the transfer goes through. On the right hand side of the offensive trident, the Spanish manager has once again eyed Eberechi Eze. The Crystal Palace tribal player has a £60 million buyout clause in his contract.
This brings me to the second "but", which is transfer fee, 48 million + 4 million in potential bonuses. That seems a lot for a player who won't be in the starting lineup right away. It's possible that Mikel Artety has some plans for the young Englishman that we don't know about yet, but it's quite likely that he'll fight a lot for a place in the starting eleven at least at the beginning of his Arsenal engagement. On the right wing, star Bukayo Saka has his place assured, on the other side of the pitch Arteta has always preferred right-footed players. Despite the fact that Madueke can play from the left, I think Arsenal will try to get another player in that position. This brings me to the question, will Arsenal have the funds to buy all the transfer targets?
However, I would not like to jump to conclusions, and therefore we have no choice but to trust both the Arsenal executive and the footballer himself.
Welcome to the Arsenal, Noni!
