Noni Madueke believes that one of his fellow Chelsea teammates will pose a challenge for their Premier League opponents in the upcoming season. The talented 22-year-old, who joined the club from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023, had a rollercoaster first full season at Stamford Bridge. However, he ended it on a high note by scoring three goals and providing two assists in the final nine games.
On the other hand, Carney Chukwuemeka, another promising player at Chelsea, struggled with injuries throughout the season and only managed to make 12 appearances in all competitions. But Madueke, who has known Chukwuemeka since their days in the England youth setup, has full faith in his abilities and believes that once he regains his fitness, he will bounce back and make a significant impact on the team.
Speaking highly of his teammate, Madueke said, "Carney is the player I spend the most time with, without a doubt. We first met in the England team and have been close ever since. We have a lot in common, and we get along really well. Our personalities click, and we share similar interests."
Madueke and Chukwuemeka's bond goes back to their youth days in England.
Madueke is eagerly waiting for Chukwuemeka to return to full fitness and showcase his skills on the field. He believes that once he is fully fit, he will be a formidable force for their opponents to handle. "He's a problem for teams when he's in top form. I can't wait for next season when he will be available from the start and show everyone what he's capable of."
Despite their strong finish to the season, the Chelsea players were left stunned when their head coach Mauricio Pochettino was sacked after a meeting with the board. He has been replaced by former Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca. However, Madueke assures that the team's unity remains intact, and they are determined to continue their upward trajectory in the upcoming campaign.
"I feel like our team spirit is at an all-time high. We have been through a lot together, but there were also some good moments throughout the season. Of course, there were times where we could have done better, but that's expected from a young team that is growing together. We understand that we win and lose as a team, and we need each other to succeed. Our bond is stronger than ever, and I hope it stays that way," Madueke concluded.
