Noni Madueke handed new role ahead of Mauricio Pochettino meeting as Chelsea audition awaits

Noni Madueke may not officially meet Mauricio Pochettino until the end of July depending on how far England get in the under-21 European championships. The young Three Lions are currently preparing for their semi-final clash with Israel after beating Portugal in the previous round on Sunday.

From four games contested at the tournament, Madueke has featured for a total 272 minutes alongside his Chelsea teammate Levi Colwill. After signing from PSV in the January transfer window, getting regular first-team minutes was proving to be a significant challenge for Madueke, but he enjoyed a strong run of appearances towards the end of the season.

The 21-year-old has since taken that into his campaign with England where he has continually impressed at right midfield which included scooping the man of the match award for his superb display in the final group game against Germany.
