Last season, Arsenal hit their glass ceiling again. After several successful seasons under Mikel Arteta, the Gunners have stabilized at a certain level of performance. However, the London club has been unable to take the next step and finally win titles. Consistently outplayed by tougher opponents in the league, the Emirates Stadium residents have also been beaten on the continental stage by tougher clubs.
This was the case for PSG's lethal display in their double-header against Arsenal in the semi-finals of the last Champions League. In this sense, the mentality of Arteta's philosophy, considered a loser on the other side of the Channel, must evolve. One of the other shortcomings of the English squad is its lack of dangerous attacking options. Against PSG, Arsenal created chances, but no one seemed capable of making a real difference. To achieve this, Arsenal's management will also have to be active in the transfer market to provide Arteta with attacking threats.
Noni Madueke has reached an agreement with Arsenal
Although not spared by injuries last season, Arsenal's squad still needs this new blood and the London club's recruitment teams have been working for weeks to find interesting opportunities. For several days, the English press has been claiming that the Gunners want to steal a striker from their neighbors Chelsea : Noni Madueke . Author of a good season with the Blues (11 goals and 5 assists in 45 matches), the 23-year-old winger is on the tablets of the runner-up in the last edition of the Premier League .
This Saturday, The Athletic confirmed this information and went even further. Indeed, according to our colleagues across the Channel, a personal and salary agreement has already been reached between the England international (7 caps) and the Gunners. For the moment, no formal discussions have been established between the two London teams. One thing is now certain: Noni Madueke is clearly ready to play for Arsenal next season. A Chelsea-Arsenal axis that is definitely working wonderfully this summer with the arrival of Kepa Arrizabalaga at the Emirates Stadium.
