The overall timeline for Arsenal to sign Maduaike is still very clear. After the news, they quickly followed up on the transfer deal, met Chelsea's request for Maduaike and signed him, making him an important assaulter and wing guarantee for their new season. Today, a week has passed since the news spread, and Arsenal also made an official announcement to officially sign the 23-year-old England winger from the Blues.

After joining Arsenal in the new season, he will wear the No. 20 jersey. At the same time, Arsenal also signed a long-term contract with Maduaike, and the two sides will cooperate until 2030. It is reported that the transfer cost Arsenal's basic transfer fee of 50 million euros in total, plus an additional clause of nearly 5 million euros, which exceeded the 55 million euros mark in total. Compared to Maduaike's personal net worth of 40 million euros, it is indeed a bit premium, but considering his 23-year-old age, it is still acceptable.

Last season, he played in 41 games with the Blues Chelsea, scoring 11 goals and sending 4 assists. Although the data is not particularly impressive, Maduaike's good skills, especially his performance in tearing up space and creating opportunities on the field, still shows that he has a certain talent, which is also the key reason why Arteta really wants to buy him and quickly reach an agreement with the senior management. It is reported that according to information revealed by insiders inside Arsenal, Arteta's positioning for Maduaike is a striker with breakthrough ability and can create space on the wing.

Therefore, they will work hard to use this characteristic of this young man in the new season to complete the corresponding opportunity creation. This is not only conducive to Maduaike's personal performance, but also a good help for Arsenal's revitalization of the wing, especially reducing the pressure on Saka. If both wings can be truly flown together, it will be beneficial to Arsenal's development.

However, the problem with Maduaike is that his shooting ability still needs to be improved. At the same time, he sometimes seems to be more unique in the game and is unwilling to share the ball with his teammates. This is also the point that Arteta must correct him. If Maduaike can go further in terms of personal problems, I believe that the 40 million euros value forecast will definitely not be his end.

The Gunners' fans generally mixed praises and criticisms about Maduaike's transfer. Some believe that this is Arsenal's waste of transfer capital, and some believe that Maduaike will allow them to enjoy the greatest transfer again. I don't know what the situation will be. However, Maduaike himself is very confident and said that it will bring enough help to Arsenal and compete for the trophy next season.
