What next for Noni Madueke at Chelsea as big summer transfer decision faces £35m attacker

Noni Madueke was one of Chelsea's eight signings in the January transfer window with the club finally signing their long-term target after years of watching the winger.

The 21-year-old had been watched by the Blues since the speedy wide man left Tottenham as a teenager. He had offers to stay in England but he made the brave decision to move abroad and ply his trade in the Netherlands.

Madueke really flourished in the Eredivisie, scoring 11 goals in 51 appearances in the Dutch top-flight during his three-and-a-half years there. Chelsea ended up taking what can be described as a gamble when they signed him in January for around £35million. He was, and is, viewed as one very much for the future but surely everyone is a tad surprised at how little time he has had on the pitch as we approach the end of the season.
