Atletico Madrid and Juventus Monitoring Arsenal's Noni Madueke Ahead of January

Atletico Madrid and Juventus are monitoring Arsenal winger Noni Madueke ahead of the January transfer window, with both clubs considering a loan move, potentially including an option to buy, should his lack of playing time at the Emirates continue.

Madueke has made just two substitute Premier League appearances so far this season, managing barely 100 minutes across Arsenal's opening six matches, with Bukayo Saka's return to full fitness pushing him further down the pecking order. He did feature for 18 minutes off the bench in Arsenal's 1-0 Champions League win over Napoli, suggesting Mikel Arteta still views him as part of his plans, but sources close to the agents' industry indicate no formal negotiations have yet taken place between the clubs.

Arsenal paid Chelsea £52 million for Madueke last summer, with the England international contributing 8 goals and 4 assists in 43 appearances during a productive debut season that ended in Premier League and FA Cup glory. Atletico are said to see him as a player who could add pace and directness to Diego Simeone's attack, though Arsenal have shown no indication they are willing to sanction a sale midway through a campaign in which they are competing on multiple fronts.
