The Noni Madueke deal for more than £50 million has put Arsenal in the center of a storm of criticism. |
The 23-year-old English winger, who has 13 goals and five assists in 67 Premier League appearances, was expected to bring competition and depth to Arsenal's attack. However, the deal has sparked criticism from fans and pundits, with many saying the fee was too high for Madueke's level.
In addition, Arsenal's large sum of money for an "average" player like Madueke will hinder the recruitment of bigger targets like Rodrygo, Eberechi Eze, Victor Gyökeres. In addition, Arsenal also helps Chelsea clean up their books after their city rivals were fined by UEFA for violating Financial Fair Play regulations.
On social media, an Arsenal fan named Gooner Talk expressed: “£52m for Madueke? That’s money to buy a top striker, not a reserve player.” Many other Arsenal fans also believe that this money could be better invested by the Emirates club in a high-quality center forward or left winger.
The majority of Arsenal fans' opinions on Madueke were negative. Meanwhile, the majority of Chelsea fans mocked their rivals for this deal. The Blues London account declared: "Madueke is a good player, but 52 million is too expensive. We sold a reserve player for a bargain price."
Football London fears Arsenal are “painting themselves into a corner” by spending big on a position that is not a top priority, especially with a summer 2025 transfer budget predicted to be around £150m.
The wave of criticism from Arsenal fans has put huge pressure on sporting director Berta and coach Arteta to address the remaining gaps before the summer transfer window closes.
Two super goals bring Chelsea to the Club World Cup final. In the early morning of July 9, Joao Pedro scored 2 goals to help Chelsea defeat Fluminense 2-0 in the FIFA Club World Cup semi-finals.
