‘He’d have been the last one’ Merson gives verdict on Arsenal’s latest transfer

Noni Madueke has finalised his transfer to Arsenal, though the decision has not been met with universal approval. Former player and pundit Paul Merson has voiced strong objections to the move, expressing disbelief over Arsenal’s choice to bring in the winger.

Following the club’s publicised pursuit of Madueke, some Arsenal supporters expressed clear opposition to the transfer. In a surprising reaction, certain fans even initiated an online petition aimed at halting the deal. Despite the controversy, the club chose to proceed with the signing.

Mixed Results from Chelsea Transfers

Prior to Mikel Arteta’s appointment as Arsenal manager, very few players had made the switch from Chelsea to the Emirates. However, under his leadership, several high-profile names have completed the move. Unfortunately, many of these players have struggled to make a significant impact.

One such example is Raheem Sterling, who joined on loan last season. His performances were largely seen as underwhelming and failed to justify a permanent stay. This has fuelled scepticism regarding the club’s tendency to recruit from their London rivals, yet Arteta remains confident that Madueke can be a valuable addition.
