Noni Madueke was in the crosshairs Mikel Arteta's allegedly for quite some time. Several relevant sources have even confirmed that the England international was even the Spanish manager's main transfer target for the winger position in the 2025 summer transfer window. Despite this information, Arsenal's interest in his services came as a surprise to many. So why has Mikel Arteta once again decided to fish in the waters of rival Chelsea? At first glance, it would appear that Arsenal were looking for someone to cover their backs To the Sakasbut that just doesn't make much sense given the transfer price. Arsenal had to send £48m to Chelsea's coffers, which with all the bonuses could go up to £52m. So what can Noni Madueke offer Arsenal? The Englishman typologically fits the profile of a player that Arsenal badly need in their squad. His greatest strengths include great dribbling, directness and unpredictability. Although Madueke's dominant foot is left-footed, he can also finish dangerously with his weaker right, and that's why he can play on both sides of the field. These qualities should help the Cannoneers in the deep block game, which more and more teams are using against them in games.
