Mikel Arteta was back in front of the media at Emirates Stadium to reflect on Arsenal 3-0 win over Athletic Club on Saturday, and the head coach spoke positively about Noni Maduekes performance against the Spanish club.
Softfootball reported earlier that Madueke swapped Chelsea for Arsenal this summer in a deal that could be worth up to 52million. The England international featured for Chelsea at the Club World Cup and, as a result, was not part of Arsenal's pre-season tour of Asia.
However, Madueke cut his holiday short so he could link up with his new teammates and get as much of a pre-season under his belt as possible.
Madueke featured for the Gunners at Emirates stadium on Saturday and A rteta was pleased with his performance and spoke to the Arsenal media team after the game as seen on the club official website . He revealed what Madueke had done that has really impressed him. The gaffer said:
The England international is a very good winger who has proven himself at Premier League level, and at 23 years old is heading into the prime years of his career, with plenty of time on his side to improve.
As long as Madueke can adjust to playing more regularly on the left , while also being able to switch back to the right whenever Saka needs a break, he could be a very worthwhile signing for Arsenal.
