Noni to overthink this, Arsenal have gotten their man

Noni Madueke to Arsenal is on

Arsenal deliver again! There is no stopping the news and Adam and Scott are here to talk about the singing of Noni Madueke from Chelsea. The transfer is in the final stages and it is reported as a 52 million deal and it’s not confirmed but could be something along the lines of 40m-45m + add ons.

This isn’t quite the bargain that we hoped for but looking at the comps this isn’t a bad deal either with Madueke measuring up strongly compared to other players that have moved at a similar age this season withing or too the Priemer League

  • Elanga 55m

  • Kudus 55m

  • Gittens 55m

  • Pedro 60

The podcast tries to break down the big stuff on the player

- Strengths

  • Shooting

  • Carries and dribbles

  • Touches close to goal

  • Speed and transition threat

Weaknesses

  • Final action

  • Passes from good locations in the box/crossing

  • Injury history

One of the open questions on the deal is the actual fit For Arsenal

  • Is this just right wing rotation or is this both wings move?

  • At the end of the season for Chelsea he played more left wing but he has primarily been an inside forward cutting inside.

  • Is this a Raphinha comps and or something similar to Sane as a same sided high shot volume winger

Ramifications of the deal

  • Do you think this limits other moves?

  • Ethan impact
