Finally, Arsenal fans also believe that Madueke’s arrival will block Ethan Nwaneri’s path to regular minutes. Although the England U21 international is naturally an attacking midfielder, the majority of his senior game time has come as a right winger and Madueke will likely usurp the teenager in the pecking order.

Mikel Arteta will be pleased to welcome Noni Madueke to the Emirates even if he is not the most popular signing of his Arsenal tenure. The Chelsea winger is expected to complete his move across London over the coming days after a £52million fee was agreed between the two clubs.
