Arsenal head coach Arteta, are you a Chelsea spy?Another attempt to recruit an ambiguous B-list player has reached an individual agreement



Arsenal fans are unhappy with coach Mikel Arteta's move.

The Athletic in England reached a personal agreement with Chelsea winger Nhoni Madueke on the 5th (Korea Standard Time) and is considering approaching Chelsea to recruit players. The 23-year-old said he was positive about the move, but no official negotiations have taken place between the two clubs so far, reports said.

The media reported that Arsenal have a good relationship with Chelsea and have already done business with goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga this summer. Arsenal activated Kepa's £5 million buyout clause to join Coach Mikel Arteta's team. 'Madueke is in Arsenal's interest as an option to complement the squad depth on the right wing and also has the versatility to play on the left wing.

However, Arsenal fans' reaction is very negative. This is because rival Chelsea is strangely recruiting a lot of players. From the 2022-2023 season, Jorginho, Kai Havertz, Raheem Sterling, Kepa, and Madueke.




Chelsea and Arsenal are rivals. If Arteta had recruited an ace player from Chelsea, fans would not be dissatisfied. For example, if Arsenal had hired a player like Cole Palmer, fans would have praised Arteta.

However, the players Arteta brought from Chelsea are all players who are disappointed in their performance at Chelsea. Jorginho was a defensive midfielder who had a shortcomings in his defence, and Havertz was a failed player at Chelsea. A player who went bust at Chelsea, he paid a high transfer fee and brought him back, so Chelsea suffered little loss from the sale of Havertz. Havertz is not doing well at Arsenal, but it is not enough to recruit 'super jackpot'.

Sterling's case was also strongly opposed. Sterling's performance was so serious that he was classified as an out-of-power resource at Chelsea, but he was brought on loan. As a result, it was a failure. In the case of Kepa, it can be understood that Arsenal needed a backup goalkeeper and the transfer fee was low, but the fans' patience reached its limit when they targeted Madueke.

Because Madueke is also an ambiguous resource at Chelsea. Born in 2002, he still has potential for development, but he has ups and downs and is not sure whether he can leap from Arsenal to a main resource. Although he played as the starting player for Chelsea last season, he did not perform very well compared to his chances with 10 goals and 5 assists in 45 games. Even at Chelsea, he is not sure if Madueke is such a promising resource, but manager Arteta is trying to bring in an ambiguous player again. With the money Arsenal gave to Chelsea, Chelsea is boldly reinforcing other powers, which will inevitably cause complaints from fans.




What Arsenal need now is a clear ace player. Madueke will be of great help to the squad's depth, but it is difficult to expect an ace-class performance.
