Glad we are at least seemingly still interested in him

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.”

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.

[AKCJ]

We'd be stupid to miss out IMO. He's exactly what we need, reasonably priced, English and young.

[Jabfox]

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.

Raphinha. Has he definitely gone?

[LFox99]

Rather CDK than him, at least the former can behave himself, stay fit and actually perform in a smaller league.

[HybridFox]

Perfect signing...meaning we won't sign him

According to Fabrizio it has been agreed between clubs but personal terms still yet to be agreed.

Is it really the perfect signing, was he not out injured a lot last season?

Out injured a lot, didn't perform consistently when actually fit and got caught speeding with a fake drivers license

Seems ideal

Lol! probably best for all to just write off last year then! Lets do him a favour and focus on his '20/21 stats.....

Yep, some red flags there. But he’s young and talented. If he knuckles down he could climb to a new level. I like him and hope we get him.

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...

Let’s not forget the numbers players such as jahanbakhsh and Jansen were producing in the Dutch league before they came to England. Always weary about that league

He's hardly set the league a light. 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 

[LFEFox23]

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)

Same reason a number of our players have - bit of loyalty on understanding their club can sell him at a good price.

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. 

[Torten]

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
