Arsenal are making the first moves in what promises to be a busy summer after enduring another trophyless season

An ex-Arsenal player has questioned Arsenal’s move for Noni Madueke and hints it could signal a deeper issue involving Bukayo Saka’s future.

Noni Madueke might have to handle some awkward questions at Arsenal when he officially moves to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal are set to submit a new £17m bid for Cristhian Mosquera after completing a controversial move for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke. Following a subdued start to the summer transfer window, Arsenal have bolstered Mikel Arteta ’s squad with the signings of Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright outlined just how good he is and predicted big things back in 2023 on Match of the Day, when he said: “Frank [Lampard] started him at Arsenal and said the reason why he put him in was because of how hard he’s been working in training to try to get that consistency to try to get himself in the team, and he’s done it.
