Noni Madueke is going to give Mikel Arteta a serious problem at Arsenal

Fortunately, the Gunners seem well equipped this season to face absences in their line forward.

The agreement of 67.5 million pounds sterling for Ebelechi Eze was the most Eyecatching, in particular because Arsenal Gazump has its Rivaux Tottenham Hotspur to sign it, but the 48.5 million pounds sterling that they have bombed for Noni Madueke is already very expected.

In fact, he seems to have installed so well that Arteta’s greatest concern at this stage will be what to do when Saka, who looked at the stands with a cup of tea and a smile, recovers from her thigh problem.

Not that he thought that as Madueke Touted the forest in the first 45 minutes at the Emirates.

Ola’s Ischio-Jewish injury forced the new head coach Ange Postcoglou to mix the four rear.

Morata, a regular left rear for Benfica but deployed only at the semi-center of the forest last season, filled the left side of the defense: it was immediately obvious that it was a gap.

When Arsenal went in 1-0 at halftime, Madueke has already led the side in the opposition box (five), duels won (five) and chances created (three).

It was only the central defensive stability of Forest – no Premier League team has stopped a cross last season – which prevented it from obtaining a decisive pass.

He also showed good versatility, testing Morato’s left and right shoulder, using his rhythm to make crosses with his two feet.

When another injury brought the more mobile neco Williams to the shooting line, he changed the pug, and it was the game of legs and the muscles in the second period that brought him to the Welsh defender.

He finished with nine successful duels and an expected number of assists of 0.58, as well as any performance he produced last season.

In language, Madueke “has a moment” – and at the right time.

If Saka in shape, he would not start on the right wing for Arsenal and may not have the same kind of opportunity for England either.

He now has five goal involvement in his first nine first international caps and gives Thomas Tuchel and Arteta the two headache.

Madueke did not end up with a goal or a decisive pass, surpassed this category by Eze on the opposite flank.

He put his first decisive pass for the club, chosen by Riccardo Calafiori 40 seconds after half-time, then put it on a plate for Viktor Gyokerres.

It was his first departure since the signature and, like Madueke, raises more questions than answers.

His best position for Palace was, no doubt, no 10 and some Arsenal fans would see him playing there in front of Odegaard: who could force the captain further, but Declan Rice and Martin Zubimenddi are surely at the first choice at the foot of the midfield?

These are good problems to have, of course, in particular in an increasingly exhausting high -level calendar, but the management of the arta man will be pushed to limits if Madueke and Eze maintain this form.

At least, the Spanish director does not have to worry about his goalkeeper. There is an argument that David Raya is now the best arsenal cap never, at least statistically.

He made his 100th appearance for the Gunners Against Forest and a white sheet intended for the 20 goalkeepers who succeeded in this brand for the club, none put a laundry more often than Raya.

He was rarely disturbed by the forest, but his backup with his fingertips to push the cash effort of Chris Wood on the transverse bar recalled how good he was from Brentford.
