Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd close in on signing as Arsenal complete deal | Football | Sport
Paul Parker has shared his confusion about Arsenal’s pursuit of Chelsea winger Noni Madueke.
“If Noni Madueke goes to Arsenal, he won’t be a regular starter. Arsenal have made Bukayo Saka their superstar; he’s the first name on the team sheet, and Mikel Arteta can’t drop him,” Parker told Gameshub.
“I was surprised to hear the news that Arsenal are looking to sign Madueke. I’ve been scratching my head trying to work out where he’ll play. He wants to cut in from the right and move the ball onto his left. Saka does exactly the same; there’s almost no difference between the two.
“The only way I can see it working is if Arteta plays Madueke on the left, over Gabriel Martinelli, and wants him to go down the outside rather than cutting in onto his right foot. But again, we’re seeing another Chelsea player go to Arsenal, and I don’t think there’ll be many Arsenal fans that will be too pleased about it!”
