Arsenal’s summer shake-up is moving at lightning pace, and it’s already paying dividends off the pitch.
After years of frustratingly slow transfer dealings under Edu Gaspar, the arrival of Andrea Berta has sparked a new era of efficiency at the Emirates. With five signings already secured and Viktor Gyokeres in London for his medical, fans are starting to feel the momentum.
But it’s not just the big-money names grabbing headlines.
One under-the-radar move — the arrival of Noni Madueke from Chelsea — is generating real excitement behind the scenes, especially from academy gem Myles Lewis-Skelly.
“Noni is my guy! We get on so well, and we are so similar… He’s going to bring a lot to the team,” Lewis-Skelly told Arsenal.com.
Madueke, a direct, versatile winger, is expected to join the team after the Asia tour. And with Lewis-Skelly likely to play as a left-back, the pair — both left-footed — could form a dangerous and unpredictable partnership down the flank.
The chemistry is already there. Now, the question is: can they turn friendship into firepower on the pitch?
Madueke may not have been on fans’ wish lists, but if Mikel Arteta’s instincts prove right, this unlikely duo could become one of the stories of the season.
