Arsenal winger, Noni Madueke is cherishing the close bond he has with fellow-Nigerian-bom Gunners’ star, Bukayo Saka, adding that their friendship makes it easier for them to play together at the club.
Sports247 reports that, while Saka is an established star at Emirates Stadium, Madueke is still battling to settle down after his summer arrival from fellow-London-based English Premier League rivals, Chelsea.

Despite the disparity in their days at Arsenal, the 23-year-old Madueke and his pal continue bonding effectively off the pitch and a huge revelation has now emerged that Saka played a key role in luring him over from Chelsea.
The Gunners splashed £48m to sign Madueke from Chelsea and he proved his mettle with his ability to take defenders on but humbly declared that they all link up together to collectively help the squad.
Madueke and Saka have been close since childhood, which got tighter during their academy days and their fathers are also pals, thereby making them more than just teammates.
Madueke disclosed: “We talk about it all the time. It’s so funny, we are so close off the pitch.
“We talk about how that type of pressure, knowing you need to perform, is good for both of us. It’s been great and long may it continue.”
