Maduaike demonstrates bilateral abilities, leading Arsenal in one data, can be used as England s secret weapon

Although Arsenal's signing focus this summer is on the center position, the winger Maduaike signed from Chelsea is quietly becoming a key combat force. The 23-year-old England international not only filled the right side vacancy after Saka's injury, but also provided the team with bilateral attributes and real-time combat effectiveness. After being injured in the early days of Sakachi, Maduaike quickly proved his worth. Especially compared with Martinelli's recent ups and downs, his ability to be left and right has significantly enriched Arteta's offensive choices. Data shows that Maduaike currently leads the team with an expected assist value of 0.8, second only to Eze, averaging 2.4 successes per game, and creating opportunities twice as many as the second place in the team. Its average chances of 2.8 are close to Saka's 3.0 level last season.

surpasses the data level, the tacit understanding between Maduaike and Timber established on the right side, alleviating the team's urgent need for Saka's comeback and also gaining room for young player Envanelli's growth. When Chelsea played in the league for more than 2,000 minutes last season, its shooting, expected goals, steals and other data have ranked among the top 10% in Europe, and now its efficiency has been further improved under the Arsenal system. At the national team level, Maduaike also showed competitiveness. After scoring his first goal against Serbia this fall, his nine appearances have laid the foundation. Although Saka locks in the main force on the right, Maduaike's bilateral abilities provide more possibilities for the Three Lions. Looking at the frequent changes in England's wingers in recent years, many players from Hudson Odoi to Sterling have been in a fluctuating state, and the stable performance of Maduaike may have become an unexpected surprise in the Tuchel era.

Arsenal fans have questioned the need for the £55 million investment this summer, but Maduaike reversed the buzz with his performance. His defensive contribution to regaining the ball in the frontcourt per game is temporarily ranked third in the Premier League, which is more in line with the requirements of the Arteta system. If he continues to maintain his form, he will not only be expected to suppress Trosad and Martinali's pick at the club, but also have the opportunity to play a super substitute role in England.
