Lineker Lauds Arsenal's Summer Recruits, Labels Madueke 'A Real Threat'

His remarks follow a strong start with data pointing to Arsenal's recruitment delivering early returns.

Overview

  • Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Gary Lineker said the new signings have largely settled well and singled out Noni Madueke as “dangerous” and “a real threat.”
  • Arsenal have begun the campaign positively with three wins from four Premier League matches and have also opened their Champions League account.
  • Lineker highlighted Eberechi Eze’s early contributions, praised Viktor Gyökeres for getting his goals, and described Martín Zubimendi as an intelligent midfielder.
  • Fotmob snapshots reported by TBR Football show Madueke ranking among the leaders in several attacking metrics, including the 97th percentile for touches in the opposition box.
  • Madueke’s reported £52 million move drew initial skepticism, yet recent performances have prompted public praise from pundits such as Martin Keown, Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand.
