Atletico and Juventus linked to Arsenal winger Noni Madueke

WHAT HAPPENED
The report says Madueke, who joined Arsenal from Chelsea last summer, has seen his playing time sharply reduced this campaign as Bukayo Saka has been a consistent starter. The Telegraph adds that Madueke is reportedly unhappy with his situation and that Atletico and Juventus showed interest in him over the summer, when Arsenal declined to consider offers.
KEY CONTEXT
Madueke had played a key role on the right wing previously while Saka dealt with fitness issues. The arrival into the matchday mix of Max Dowman — who was preferred off the bench against Brighton & Hove Albion in the 3-0 defeat — is mentioned in the report as a factor that could further limit Madueke’s opportunities.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
The Telegraph suggests a mid‑season exit could be possible if Madueke pushes for a move, but no transfer has been confirmed.
