Noni Madueke is a substitute player for Saka, because Saka has always have an all in season without no substitute causing fatigue. But thats not an excuse to seal up the deal for a striker - Gyokeres to be specific, of which £5 million has been what is keeping the move on pause. But what can we do, the board knows what they are doing, they maybe tight on budget or they are waiting to see if Sporting will have no option to accept the deal.
How is Madueke position right now at Chelsea any different, he's no longer occupying his favorite right flank
, a spot which is now fully Pedro Neto's operating area, but if anything in Arsenal he's just got to occupying the left flank like he currently does at Chelsea, possibly ahead of Martinelli. And more so Saka have been struggling to stay injury free lately, so perhaps, playing time is surely not going to be his problem at Arsenal, and I don't think Arsenal are going to spend well over 50 million pounds on him with the intention of playing backup, except he doesn't live up to their expectation.
