moore_94 Posted 29 June 2022 Share Posted 29 June 2022 (edited) Glad we are at least seemingly still interested in him https://thisisfutbol.com/2022/06/blogs/premier-league/lcfc-shop-latest-update-rumours-transfers-news-now-today-leicester-city/ Journalist Graeme Bailey has revealed that Leicester City are among a number of Premier League clubs tracking PSV winger Noni Madueke. Speaking on the Talking Transfers podcast he said: (48:14) ”I’m told that Madueke is one attracting real interest here. I know that Gareth Southgate’s been keeping his eye on this player. There’s a lot of interest from England. Leicester like this guy a lot but there is a lot of teams Everton, Newcastle, Leeds. Most of the big six have scouted him at some point. “This is one to keep an eye on, I think this guy is going to come to England. Let’s see where he goes.” Edited 29 June 2022 by moore_94 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 29 June 2022 Share Posted 29 June 2022 Leeds will have a lot of bunce and need a left footed RW to replace Madueke. We have to be in a position to move fast. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 29 June 2022 Share Posted 29 June 2022 We'd be stupid to miss out IMO. He's exactly what we need, reasonably priced, English and young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabfox Posted 29 June 2022 Share Posted 29 June 2022 Really hope this is true, for the right price I think he would be a great addition. Didn't he say his game against us the UECL was an 'audition' I may have misinterpreted it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next red flag would be that PSV obviously know all about him being homegrown, so have fun trying to prize him away for anything under 40m. If Madueke is so desperate to leave, why did he sign a bumper contract until 2025 last summer... Edited 29 June 2022 by LFox99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit I don't watch the dutch league so I am not sure how he plays or how he would adapt to the prem, but those stats aren't exactly mind blowing. I know Gakpo plays on the opposite wing but with 25 g/a in 27 games those are the kind of stats that would impress me coming from a league outside the top 5. Again, I do not watch either of these play so feel free to tell me I am an a**hole if I am completely wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEFox23 Posted 29 June 2022 Share Posted 29 June 2022 Isn't this lad coming back from a knee injury?... Never fills me with confidence, takes a good 12-18months to come back fully. If ever (Ricardo, Justin, Amartey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason a number of our players have - bit of loyalty on understanding their club can sell him at a good price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always weary about that league A few things work in our favour though. One, Noni is english and had his football upbringing here, he knows the league well, probably trained with the spurs first team on many occasions and he wouldnt have any form of culture shock. The second would be that in the champions league qualifiers, he was excellent. Which shows that he does have another gear he can reach against stronger opposition. I heard negative things about him when he played us but there were a few moments when he was gliding with the ball and we didnt get near him. I think he wouldnt dissapoint at all. In truth, Jansen didnt stand a chance because he was never going to get a propper run with Kane... strikers need minutes more than any other position imo, as momentum is everything for a striker scoring goals so the odd game in the europa league, wont cut it. Id actually say this is why we saw Daka drop off as well... a consistant run after his haul at moscow and I think we might have seen a different player altogether.

Your first argument can also be used against Madueke though. If he indeed is used to the pace and quality of English football, then how come his best season at PSV, the 2nd most dominant club in the Netherlands only brought a mere 11 goal involvements in 24 games. Compare that to the numbers Gakpo, Neres, Antony were and are putting up from similar positions and it makes you wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torten Posted 29 June 2022 Share Posted 29 June 2022 Can't be having another Madueke thread like last years, and us thinking PSV missing out on CL means he'd be signing for us only for him to sign a new deal with them. Can't be having it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
