The future of Noni Madueke at Arsenal has already been a subject of discussion even before the beginning of the January transfer window, with clubs Atlético Madrid and Juventus interested in the winger.
The 24-year-old has failed to get many chances in the Premier League so far under Mikel Arteta this season, and this lack of playing time might make a loan deal possible for the talented winger.
Despite remaining among the most promising talents of today, Madueke would require getting playing time, which can become more and more crucial for him in the coming months because of the high level of competition at the Emirates Stadium.
Industry sources, as reported by CaughtOffside, have told that Atlético Madrid and Juventus consider a loan deal involving Madueke in January, with such a transfer with an option to buy seen as the most realistic solution.
While negotiations have not started officially yet, Atlético Madrid consider the England international as a player capable of adding pace and aggressiveness to Diego Simeone’s attack.
Meanwhile, Juventus are said to highly appreciate his ability to get past defenders individually and add more variety on the right wing.
His few chances this season at Arsenal can help put the rumors into perspective.
He did manage to be on the pitch for 18 minutes in Arsenal’s 1-0 Champions League win over Napoli, indicating that Arteta sees him as an integral part of the squad. This was also mentioned by The Guardian in its match report.
