Noni Madueke aims sly dig at Arsenal and Tottenham after 'no-brainer' Chelsea transfer

Noni Madueke has sent a dig to Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur by claiming he has joined the 'biggest club in London'.

Madueke made the switch to Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven in January, returning to English football after leaving for the Netherlands back in 2018. The 20-year-old has made three appearances so far for the Blues, though is yet to earn his first taste of victory as the club continue to struggle for results despite over £300 million of January signings.

Before his move to the Netherlands, Madueke actually spent time at two London academy sides, first at Crystal Palace and then, incidentally, at Tottenham. But that did not stop Madueke from holding back his thoughts on moving to Stamford Bridge, stating his decision to move to the biggest club in the capital was a 'no-brainer'.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "There was never any doubt to be honest. It is the biggest club in London and one of the biggest in the world - it’s an exciting project and I know I am not the finished article, but I feel deep I know I will succeed.

"I think for a lot of players they go through the decision-making process, but for me, it was no decision to make. I wanted to come home, I wanted to come back home, and what better club to do it than if you are from London. It was a no-brainer, I said alright cool, I got what I could, got a haircut and then went to the airport."
