Exclusive: Newcastle chase 2023 Chelsea signing who could yet help major inbound transfer
Newcastle are going after Chelsea man Noni Madueke, and given he has been looking for the exit for a while, he could leave for the right offer, TEAMtalk can confirm.
Madueke has found form hard to come by at Stamford Bridge. He joined a club bursting at the seams with attacking talent, and therefore had few opportunities – just seven starts – in his first half season after joining in January 2023.
The same was true this season. Before December, the winger had played just six times in the Premier League, and those were largely cameo appearances late on.
TEAMtalk sources stated that Madueke was looking for a way out on loan in January to get some game time.
Though that never happened, and he was given more of a chance at the back end of the campaign, starting each of the final nine league games – the Blues won six of those, and Madueke chipped in with three goals and two assists.
His nightmare has eased, though a new manager in Enzo Maresca coming through the door could throw things up into the air.
TEAMtalk sources stated recently that he Madueke is yet again willing to leave the club on loan if the club do not see him as a definite starter.
