£50M star issued message ahead of summer move – Chelsea announcement imminent

Arsenal hero Anders Limpar is adamant Noni Madueke can succeed at his new club and has hit out at the backlash that has greeted his impending transfer from CHELSEA .

The likes of Willian, David Luiz and Jorginho in recent years have all made the move across London, with mixed results, but and Maduake is the latest player to leave Stamford Bridge and make the move to the Emirates.

Madueke has agreed to sign a five-year deal to become the sixth player to swap Stamford Bridge for the Emirates during Mikel Arteta’s reign in north London

‘It’s never fun when a club signs a player and the fans are not happy with it. I think Noni Madueke is a good player,’ Limpar told fotbolldirekt.se.

‘I think he can fit in Arsenal’s system. It’s just unfortunate to hear that some fans are against him and making his life difficult in a way.”

‘I don’t know the background about all the fuss from the fans. It can’t just be that he’s from Chelsea and going to Arsenal. I’m pretty sure of that. “It’s sad when fans are making a player’s life difficult.’

He added: ‘If you look at the big clubs: Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City and so on. They want a mega-squad. They want a squad where they can put on 22 players and everybody can play. That’s modern football.”

‘To hear about £50 million here, £60 million there, £70 million here, for some players who can’t even play, in my opinion. It’s ridiculous money. But that’s the way it is, in 2025.

‘You always have to have backup for your big stars. It is up to Madueke if he can handle the pressure. He’s used to playing and he has to compete for a starting spot with Saka, who is one of the best players in the world. That’s not easy. Madueke has to be patient and take the chances he gets.”

‘Playing on the left side, we have Martinelli there, we have Trossard there, even Reiss Nelson. It’s hard for a player to come to a big club with big stars but when pre-season starts, you have to prove yourself to be a starter.

‘It’s always been like that. It’s not set that he’ll be on the bench. He can work his way up to becoming a starter.’
