Arsenal fans are buzzing about Noni Madueke! The young winger, who joined from Chelsea for £52 million, has been turning heads with his recent performances. Even football pundit Gary Neville has been impressed, comparing Madueke to the legendary Arjen Robben.
Gary Neville's Robben Comparison
Neville, speaking on his Sky Sports podcast, highlighted Madueke's impactful runs during England's 5-0 victory over Serbia and Arsenal's 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest. He noted that these runs reminded him of those made famous by Robben, a player Neville himself faced during his career. "A couple of runs he made for England on Tuesday night were a different level... Arjen Robben used to make those runs against me," Neville stated.
Madueke's Impact at Arsenal
Initially, some Arsenal fans questioned the hefty price tag for Madueke, especially considering Bukayo Saka's established position on the right wing. However, Madueke's quick adaptation and impressive displays have started to change perceptions. He's shown glimpses of brilliance, taking on defenders and creating opportunities. The comparison to Robben, a player who scored over 200 career goals and won the Champions League, is certainly high praise.
Paul Parker even went as far as to say Madueke is 'better than Bukayo Saka', questioning Chelsea's decision to let him go. While that might be a bold statement, it shows the level of excitement surrounding Madueke's potential.
