The Noni Madueke winger has just become Arsenal's fourth rookie, but his first proposal had to receive his head shake from coach Mikel Arteta.
Madueke became the 4th rookie of the Gunners in the summer of 2025. At the Emirates Stadium, Madueke will wear the number 20. Arsenal and Chelsea have reached an agreement on the original fee of 48.5 million pounds, while the English players' personal terms have been agreed. Madueke's contract will last until 2030.
Before this deal was completed, on social networks, many Arsenal fans were unhappy when the home team bought people from Chelsea and the name Madueke was not the contract they expected.
Perhaps that is why Madueke aspires to prove himself. He was excited with the new start at the Emirates. However, as revealed from The Athletic, his first request at the club was rejected.
Specifically, Madueke offered to cut the vacation with the entire Asian team, but the coaching staff wanted him to rest fully for two weeks.
Although he wanted to show it early to score with Arteta, Madueke is said to have played continuously from FIFA Club World Cup 2025 to the time of completing the transfer. Moreover, Madueke at the time of signing a contract with Arsenal has just returned from the United States.
To prevent injury, the coaching staff decided to let Madueke stay in London to rest, under the closeness of the club's physical coach. He will officially join the whole team in early August.
Arsenal plans to travel in the summer of 2025 quite dense but also showing seriousness with the “green army” is very difficult. According to the schedule, they will go to Asia to encounter Newcastle, AC Milan and Tottenham in Singapore and Hong Kong.
Then there were matches against Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao in the UK, before entering the new season. Arsenal rival in the first round of the Premier League 2025/26 is MU.
