I hope Madueke does better at Arsenal than he did at Chelsea. Now the next priority has to be signing a striker, because as long as Gyökeres doesn't come, Arsenal's biggest problem from last season, the lack of goals, won't be solved.

There are too many right wingers now. Madueke has arrived, Nwaneri's contract has been renewed, there's Saka and Reiss Nelson is also back from Fulham. One of them will probably have to leave. Saka and Madueke would be the main choices, with Nwaneri getting minutes in rotation over a long season. Nelson could be loaned out again or sold.
An interesting detail is that all three of these right wingers at Arsenal; Madueke, Saka and Nwaneri are English players of Nigerian origin.

Madueke wasn't having much playing time at Chelsea yet he wasn't doing bad with the few times he had to play. So I think if he can be giving that much playing time at Arsenal he will definitely do better than he was with Chelsea. His signing might just be one of the best signings from Chelsea to Arsenal's history in recent years. But then, with Saka in the picture he just have to be at his very best to be able to find that much playing time within the wing they both share.

For me, the number of wingers in Arsenal are okay considering the many competitions they will be participating in next season, like for Nwaneri he could be constantly played for other competitions aside the premier league and champions league while Saka and Madueke get to share in the UCL and premier league. This will help the players not experience fatigue and be overwhelmed by the many games to play in a week.

Yea, you're correct they are all of Nigeria heritage.
