Noni Madueke has left his close friend Cole Palmer ‘fuming’ after playfully tagging him with the nickname “Chippy” just as his transfer to Arsenal was confirmed.
The nickname stems from an old BBC Sport interview where Palmer revealed his love for “chippy chips,” explaining his ideal post-match meal as Chinese food with salt and pepper chicken, rice, and proper chip shop fries — not salt and pepper chips.
With Madueke now set to face Palmer as rivals in the Premier League, the lighthearted nickname is bound to stick, despite their competitive encounters on the pitch. The friendship between the two remains evident, even as their club loyalties diverge.
