Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has criticized Chelsea’s decision to sell Noni Madueke to Arsenal, suggesting the winger has the potential to surpass Bukayo Saka.
Speaking to WhichBookie, Parker said:
“Chelsea allowed Noni Madueke to join Arsenal even though he is one of England’s most talented wingers. He was arguably their standout player in the match against Andorra. When he came off the bench against Liverpool, with Arsenal trailing, he made a real impact and looked very positive. To me, it was a strange call from Chelsea to let him go.”
Parker went even further by comparing Madueke to Arsenal star Bukayo Saka.
“In my view, Madueke is actually the better player. Saka doesn’t usually go on the outside, lacks explosive pace, and doesn’t intimidate defenders in the same way. Madueke, on the other hand, has that ability to inject fear into opposition defenders.”
