Everything seemed to be going as planned but Sporting are just too adamant about the fee and have made the deal too complicated and stalling until now. I just hope this deal doesn’t collapse because Gyökeres himself has already being making sacrifices to see the deal through but Sporting are still reluctant to see it happen. Honestly I am running out of patience with this deal I can’t wait for it to be done so we can move to other deals.
If Arsenal can wrap up that deal for Noni Madueke in a flash, then worrying is a dump way to go about this. It will be done possibly next week. Mikel Arteta wants his weapons ready before the preseason and tour games. The first fixture of the season against Manchester United will be hotter than hell. It's just a little figure off whatever Sporting wanted. In my head, this is a done deal already, He is a gunner.
Madueke is a good player and he played very well the first time he went to Chelsea but after some time he started depreciating from his performance and I am still wondering how he is going to do in Arsenal because if I am not mistaken, madueke and Bukayo Saka plays same position so I am wondering if Arteta is going to bench Saka and use madueke or he is going to bench madueke and use Saka, that is a decision the coach will make anyways, but I don't think madueke is better than Saka in other words Saka is better than madueke but it is still possible that madueke can outperform Saka.
Mikel Arteta appears to have signed Noni Madueke to replace Saka, not just as a backup to ease the burden on Saka when he's injured.
In my opinion, Noni Madueke hasn't impressed much so far, and he hasn't fully established himself in the Premier League. However, he likely has the potential to develop in the long term, and we'll see if Mikel Arteta has made the right decision, as it's a controversial decision that many Arsenal fans disagree with.
