Noni Madueke reveals Arsenal players that convinced him to join the Gunners

Noni Madueke has revealed that after completing his transfer to Arsenal, he spoke with several current players, including Declan Rice, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Bukayo Saka, and Jurrien Timber, who all spoke highly of the club’s culture.

“I’ve spoken to Declan, Myles, Bukayo, even Jurrien as well, and they all say amazing things about the club and the culture here—how warm it is and how much of a family it is,” Madueke shared.

Madueke joined Arsenal from Chelsea on July 18, 2025, signing a five-year contract that runs until 2030. The deal is reportedly worth £48.5 million, with performance-related add-ons potentially taking the total to £52 million.

His arrival adds further attacking depth to Mikel Arteta’s squad and supports Arsenal’s commitment to investing in young, Premier League-proven talent.

Beyond the financials, Madueke’s conversations with senior Arsenal figures offered early assurance of a positive environment at the Emirates. Their glowing feedback about the team spirit and family-like atmosphere helped reinforce his belief that Arsenal was the right place to take the next step in his career.

With pre-season underway, Madueke is expected to quickly integrate into the squad. His versatility on the wing, combined with his familiarity with several England teammates, could make him a key figure in Arsenal’s campaign for the 2025/26 season.
