Noni Madueke has been labelled 'one of the best young forward players in Europe' amid comparisons to former Chelsea star Arjen Robben. The 20-year-old joined the Blues from PSV in a deal which is thought to cost around £35million, penning a seven-and-a-half-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
Despite an injury-ridden campaign, his impressive displays had courted the attention of Europe's biggest clubs. But, Chelsea won the race; football.london understands that new technical director Christopher Vivell was a driving force behind signing Madueke, having previously tried to do so at RB Leipzig.
Despite having yet featured for the Blues, signing the winger already looks to be a bargain. Speaking to Sky Sports, Saul Isaksson-Hurst issued a glowing review of Madueke, tipping him to pick up from where Robben left off in west London.
