Noni Madueke, the sensation of PSV that makes Europe salivate

PSV Eindhoven is under attack from all sides. This summer, the Dutch team must face many requests for its best elements who participated in Euro 2020 like Denzel Dumfries, Donyell Malen or Cody Gakpo. But they are not the only players at the club to be courted. Indeed, Chukwunonso Madueke, known as Noni Madueke, is also a real eye-catcher during this summer transfer market.

Good progress at PSV

This young talent, with English and Nigerian origins, was born in 2002 in London. It was in the English capital that he began to feel leather. After a brief stint by Crystal Palace, he joined Tottenham in 2014. There, the precocious Madueke, captain of the U16, is outclassed and crosses the stages one after the other. Courted by several renowned teams, including Manchester United and Chelsea, he finally joined PSV Eindhoven and the Netherlands in the summer of 2018.

Aligned in U17, U19 then U21, he was also integrated with the professional team. On January 19, 2020, he played his first minutes in Eredivisie. Aged 17, this versatile winger came into play 18 minutes in the draw (1-1) against VVV Venlo. After two new entries in February against Ajax (10 minutes) and Willem II (13 minutes), he was started against Groningen on March 8, 2020 (77 minutes played). But he was stopped in full swing.

Many courtiers in Europe

Indeed, the Dutch championship had been suspended and then stopped due to covid-19. This 2020-21 season, the 19-year-old Englishman continued his momentum with 31 appearances in all competitions, including 11 starts. Time for him to score 9 goals and deliver 6 assists. Interesting statistics which have not escaped certain clubs. Thus, the one who made his debut with the English U21s on March 28 against Portugal is stirring up envy. A few months ago, the Daily Mail explained that LOSC was interested in his profile.

Leicester and Leipzig too. In the meantime, other candidates joined in the fun. In the Premier League, Arsenal and Leeds are also seduced. Borussia Dortmund are also on the spot. The Telegraph, who speaks of other suitors, assures that BVB have made him their priority to replace Jadon Sancho, who is expected to sign at Manchester United. While the specialized site Transfermarkt estimated its price at 16M €, PSV would ask for at least 20M € for the player under contract until 2024. The race for his signature is on!
