Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is confident that his teammate Noni Madueke will showcase his footballing talents for the Gunners when the new Premier League season begins in August. Madueke joined Arsenal for an initial fee of £48.5 million, with potential add-ons that could raise the total. The 23-year-old is anticipated to serve as support for Bukayo Saka on the right flank of Arsenal’s attack, although some fans have expressed doubts about the hefty price tag. Despite these external concerns, Rice firmly believes that his fellow England international will excel in his first season with Arsenal, stating, “I know how driven he is.” I had a conversation with him, and you’ll get to know what he’s like this season. “He aims to demonstrate his true abilities to everyone,” Rice mentioned on the club’s website. Additionally, a Nigerian striker has signed with the Belgian club Kortrijk. “He has a strong desire to play for Arsenal, and that’s exactly the kind of players we are looking for.” It has a very optimistic tone… “He will surprise many, and I’m eagerly anticipating his arrival…” There have been discussions among the players and staff internally. We are aware of the player we’re acquiring and are eagerly anticipating his arrival at our team. It will be truly thrilling. During the previous Premier League season, Madueke accomplished 45 dribbles, outpacing Saka by four dribbles, who led that category for Mikel Arteta’s team. Additionally, he contributed to 10 goals (seven scored and three assisted) in the 2024-25 season, a tally that would have placed him seventh among Arsenal players the prior year.
