Before joining Arsenal, Maduaike experienced effective experiences at Chelsea and Eindhoven and won four championships. Arsenal's official website has included 13 interesting facts about the winger.
Correspondence
Maduaike grew up in the Tottori youth training camp and also played for a short time at Crystal Palace. However, during a youth training match, his father spoke to the father of then Eindhoven defender Ian Mattson, which changed his career. Maduaike told Chelsea's official website: "After that game, Ian Mattson's father and my father started chatting and they joked that they would take me to Eindhoven." The joy of playing in the Netherlands
Leaving London to the Netherlands was a huge change for the Barnett-born player, but Maduaike believes it is the best choice for his career development. After joining Eindhoven youth training camp in 2018, Maduaike was quickly promoted and played for Eindhoven youth team for the first time in the match against Maastricht in August 2019. After scoring four goals in six games, he was quickly promoted to the first team.
Immediately make an impact
Madouaike quickly emerged at a higher level. In September 2020, he scored in his debut against Eminem. During his time at Eindhoven, he scored 20 goals in 80 games and contributed 13 assists. Inspiration brought by CR7, Maduaike especially admired a player during his growth process. In an interview with the BBC, he said: "When I grew up, the person who inspired me to play football was Ronaldo during the Manchester United period. He was my idol, and I watched him play football since I was a child."
Football legend leads the way

Call from London
Signing players from other London clubs was once rare, but Arsenal has done it twice in the last three summer transfer windows. In 2023, Arsenal signed Rice from West Ham United, Havertz from Chelsea, and Raya from Brentford. Before Maduaike joined, Arsenal also signed Kepa from Chelsea and Norgou from Brentford.
Balance of both feet
Madouaike's biggest advantages are balanced feet. Despite being mainly active on the right, he has also performed well on the left, including this summer's Club World Cup. According to Opta, among the players who tried at least 30 non-header shots in the 2024-25 season, only Bournemouth's Semeno (53.8% left-footed shots, 46.2% right-footed shots) were closer to perfect balance than Maduaike (65.8% left-footed shots, 34.2% right-footed shots).
Balling propulsion
Apart from the versatile attributes, Maduaike is also a stable ball holder. No player can complete 6.1 ball-holding propulsions every 90 minutes like him. In addition, Maduaike also completed 1.6 pushes and shots every 90 minutes in the Premier League last season, which helped him hit three goals alone in the match against Wolves in August 2024, and the team won 6-2.
The influence of father

Madouaike's brother Tranel, who loves music, made music, and he was passionate about music and even went to the recording studio himself. In an interview with Clash Music, he said: "Football, music, and fashion are all the same for me. They are the way I express myself, and each one affects each other in some way."
Hopeful to fashion
In addition to my love for music, Noni also likes fashion. He has been involved in blockbuster films many times and revealed that he may enter the fashion industry in the future.
