Arsenal have completed the signing of Noni Madueke from Chelsea and Ian Wright has reacted.

It was reported earlier this week that Arsenal agreed to sign Noni Madueke from Chelsea in a deal worth £52m.

The signing was officially confirmed by the club on Friday evening, and various figures tied to the Gunners have been reacting.

Declan Rice shared a message after it was confirmed that Arsenal had secured the services of the versatile winger.

Now, club legend Ian Wright has made his feelings on the North London outfit’s latest recruit clear.

Ian Wright reacts to Arsenal signing Noni Madueke

When news of their club’s interest broke, Arsenal fans’ stance on a Madueke transfer was made apparent after they flooded a social media post with comments.

The Gunners faithful weren’t overly keen on the 23-year-old, who scored seven and assisted four in 32 Premier League matches last term.

However, Wright’s reaction to the move being confirmed on July 18 was much more positive.

Arsenal shared an Instagram post of the now former Chelsea winger signing a contract alongside manager Mikel Arteta.

On Saturday, Wright took to the comment section of that picture and posted not one, not two, but five love heart emojis.

The former Tottenham Hotspur prospect has proven his versatility over the years.

He is predominantly a right winger but can play on the left and has even featured through the middle as a 10 or centre-forward during his career.

But TBR sources understand that Arsenal plan to use Madueke on the right, providing cover for Bukayo Saka.

We, via our transfer expert Graeme Bailey, also learned the Gunners do want to let Leandro Trossard go as they look to add options on the left.

Bailey informed us that Arteta’s side are ‘still actively pursuing’ Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze and Real Madrid winger Rodrygo.
