New Arsenal Signing Madueke Finally Set to Link Up With Squad

Arsenal new boy Noni Madueke is yet to begin training with Arsenal, but a return date has now been revealed ahead of the new campaign. The former PSV academy player completed a move from Chelsea to the Gunners this summer in a deal that could rise to £52 million.

Signed to provide competition for Bukayo Saka, Madueke’s price tag suggests he could play a significant role moving forward, especially as he is also capable of playing on the left wing. The 23-year-old was officially unveiled as an Arsenal player in mid-July, just before the club’s pre-season tour of Asia. However, he was not involved due to his extended season with Chelsea playing in the  Club World Cup.

Madueke set for return ahead of Villarreal friendly

According to a report by The Athletic’s James McNicholas, Noni Madueke will return to first team training on Monday, 4th August, ahead of Arsenal’s friendly against Villarreal on Wednesday, 6th August. The winger was granted a few weeks off following his arrival, having featured deep into the Club World Cup over the summer as Chelsea reached the final of the newly expanded competition.

His return comes at a crucial time, with two home friendlies scheduled against Villarreal and Athletic Club (9th August), ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League opener on 17th August against Manchester United  at Old Trafford.

Time to silence the doubters

For Madueke, the aim will be to settle quickly into his new surroundings, especially in light of the controversy surrounding his move to North London. While some fans were underwhelmed by the signing, a vocal minority went as far as launching a petition opposing the deal.

Despite the noise, the Barnet-born winger will be looking to let his football do the talking. If he can find form and stay focused, there is every chance he will prove to be a valuable addition for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Are you excited to see Madueke in Arsenal colours?
