Of course, it is just impossible that Madueke replaces Saka. Saka will be always the main option for the right winger, meanwhile Martinelli is the main player in the left winger. Madueke probably becomes the substituted player of these players only. Madueke must accept that he may not play regularly as the starter. He must already realize this condition before he accepted Arsenal offer.

Exactly, Madueke can't replace Saka. Saka is Arsenal's main player, one of the key players, and the brains of Arsenal's game. Indeed, their primary positions are both right wingers. However, Madueke's arrival at Arsenal has met with pros and cons from various parties, especially Arsenal fans. But on the other hand, Arteta's pushing for him.

Rather than focusing on Madueke, I think they should have focused more on the left winger, as they clearly have Saka on the right, whose performance is unquestionable.

However, Madueke's purchase is clearly a bit confusing for me, as there are still several things they need to consider, yet they've bought Madueke as an option.
If Arteta's goal is simply to use Madueke as a backup to Saka, then this is a bit excessive, as 50 million rupiah is clearly excessive for a rotational winger.

I'm eager to see what Arteta plans to implement next season, as I believe he made another mistake (signing Madueke) besides simply letting Partey go.
Hopefully, Madueke can show some good form now, following Arteta's somewhat controversial and even gambling decision.
