Noni Madueke could offer Chelsea a different dimension alongside Cole Palmer next season.
Noni Madueke is emerging as Chelsea's surprise package ahead of the new Premier League season.
The 23-year-old has impressed in pre-season, scoring three goals and providing an assist in just five games. His sparkling form has earned him the trust of new boss Enzo Maresca, who may have found his x-factor on the right wing.
Maresca finally confirms Chelsea's main striker for the new season amid Osimhen links
Madueke and Palmer can be devastating duo for Chelsea
Chelsea's failed pursuit of Crystal Palace's Michael Olise has proven to be a blessing in disguise for Madueke, who would have struggled for game time had the transfer materialised. Instead, the former PSV man has seized his opportunity, showcasing his creativity and goal-scoring ability.
With Cole Palmer expected to continue in the number 10 role, Madueke's emergence on the right wing could provide Chelsea with a new attacking dimension.
His x-factor could be the key to unlocking defenses and providing a creative spark that was often missing last season.
Maresca's decision to give Madueke a chance could prove to be a masterstroke, and he will be eager to repay his manager's faith and step into the limelight.
