I don't have any doubts in these players to perform for their new clubs. At least 3 of those guys performed very well for their individual clubs last season. They were all part of the main team. So am really expecting all of them to be in their best performances next season. It's really difficult to determine who will perform best next season, but my top two is between Elanga of Newcastle and Joao Pedro of Chelsea.
João Pedro has already set the tempo high with his performance against PSG in the final. So he will work very hard to maintain the standard.

I still don’t understand why Arsenal went all in for Noni Madeuke, I’m going to see how he fits into the Arsenal team and how many games he will be starting, Well he can play both wings but, but I can’t see him getting into the starting lineup, maybe probably when there is an injury to Saka or Martinelli so it might look like a ridiculous decision from Arteta, I know all managers have there plans I will have to see the plan the Manager have for him, Tottenham have done something significant by sighing Kudus who I think have been a very good player for westHam is a good deal for Thomas Frank, Joao Pedro will be a very exceptional player for Chelsea, we’ve been familiar with him in Brighton and we understand his game, Anthony Elanga will be quite sensational for Newcastle it’s been a good deal, but I’m mostly interested in what Arteta will do with Noni Madueke

Well I think it Arteta was just looking for a back up player that will cover for the team when either players you mentioned go on injury. Although I don't think they promised Noni Madueke a bench role before he decided to join Arsenal and leave Chelsea were he was seeing game time. Maybe Arteta promised him game time if he's able to impress him in training, so it's going to be anyone who impresses that coach will get the match day call up. Although Arteta is trying to remove some of the work load on saka. The guy almost started all games for Arsenal last season before he was hit with injury. So I think Madueke will get his game time in Arsenal. The question is, will he up his games now that he's now in Arsenal or will it be the same old Madueke of Chelsea that we knew?
