What Mikel Arteta thinks about allowing Madueke to leave Arsenal

Noni Madueke has been linked with a January move away from Arsenal, and the attacker could be open to leaving as he continues to struggle for regular game time.

Given their performances this season, it may be more sensible to give Max Dowman opportunities over the former Chelsea winger. Mikel Arteta is known for giving opportunities to players who deserve them, regardless of their status within the squad.

Madueke faces a battle for minutes

Arteta is a fearless manager, and Madueke knows he must improve if he wants to stand a chance of earning a place in the team over the coming weeks.

In January, Madueke and the club will decide whether it makes sense for him to stay, but Arteta already appears to have an idea of which decision would be best for the attacker. The player still has time to change the situation before that point arrives.

Football Insider reveals that the Spanish manager does not want to sell Madueke, even though he is struggling to offer him a guarantee of regular game time this season.

Arteta wants Madueke to fight

Arteta wants Madueke to remain at Arsenal and fight for minutes like every other player in the squad. He does not intend to entertain interest in the attacker during the January transfer window, meaning Madueke could remain part of his plans beyond the winter.

That stance gives Madueke an opportunity to demonstrate that he can compete for a place rather than looking for a move elsewhere. However, the attacker will need to make the most of the opportunities available to him if he is to convince the manager that he deserves more playing time.

Between now and January, Arteta expects Madueke to apply himself and prove that he is good enough for the team. The coming weeks could therefore be important for the attacker, as his performances and attitude may influence what happens when the transfer window opens. For now, Arsenal appear prepared to keep him, while Madueke must focus on showing why he should remain an important part of the squad.
