Chelsea could be about to repeat their Mo Salah transfer mistake by selling Noni Madueke to Arsenal

The article reflects on Chelsea's past mistake in selling Mohamed Salah under Jose Mourinho, which has haunted the club for nearly a decade as Salah achieved major success with Liverpool. It draws a parallel to the current situation involving the potential sale of Noni Madueke to Arsenal.

Chelsea's sale of Madueke, described as the most obvious Salah-like player the club has had in years, has divided the fanbase. While £50 million represents good value for a player with seven goals and three assists last season (including a hat-trick against Wolves), it also signals the departure of a young England international (23) who perfectly fits Chelsea's current ownership model and whose value could significantly increase.

The article questions the move, noting Madueke was given significant chances, looked ready to excel under new manager Enzo Maresca, and his assist numbers might have been higher if not for the wastefulness of striker Nicolas Jackson. It suggests the arrival of more clinical forwards like Liam Delap and Joao Pedro could have created an ideal environment for Madueke to flourish next season. His replacement, 18-year-old Brazilian Estevao Willian, is seen as talented but relatively unknown outside South America.

In contrast to Salah, who was deemed not "patient enough," Madueke was reportedly patient and integrated. The piece concludes by expressing bafflement at an online Arsenal fan petition (#NoToMadueke) trending against his signing.
