Chelsea winger could yet leave this summer despite winning over Enzo Maresca and international impact | OneFootball

It’s the 11th day in June – time to check out how our number 11 is getting on this month.

Noni Madueke finished the season as first choice, and has gone into the international break looking to impress Thomas Tuchel and cement his place in the squad. He was disappointing for England last night, but had previously had a good game against Andorra.

It was an up and down campaign for Madueke, who started strong with the rest of the team and bagged a memorable hattrick against Wolves, before fading a little mid-season.

A low point was definitely getting dropped from the squad on a couple of occasions by Enzo Maresca for a lack of focus in training or games, but by the end of the season he had regained his manager’s trust.

He finished the season with 27 Premier League starts. A return of 7 goals and 3 assists is solid, but the fact that he get any after January is not ideal.

Madueke future uncertain despite solid season

After a solid season, finishing with a trophy, which built on his first full campaign at Stamford Bridge, Madueke should be looking forward to next year and aiming to really take things to the next level.

However the rumours about a potential departure persist, and we can’t just swat them away.

We’ve seen, as in the case with Jadon Sancho’s loan not being made permanent that a) these sporting directors are pretty ruthless and willing to disrupt the harmony of the team for better results, and b) they weren’t happy with the return from their wingers last season.

It still seems odds on that Madueke stays, but with Estevao Willian and likely another winger coming in, it’s very possible that a good offer for Madueke sees him depart.
