Chukwunonso Tristan "Noni" Madueke (born 10 March 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Chelsea, as a winger and attacking midfielder.

Early life

Madueke is of Nigerian Igbo descent.[3][4] Born in Barnet,[5] Madueke moved to the small village of Wintelre with his mother upon signing for PSV.[6]

Club career

Early career

Madueke joined Crystal Palace at the age of nine and spent three years at the club.[7] He subsequently joined Tottenham Hotspur; he captained their under-16 side and made his under-18 debut at the age of 15.[3][7]

PSV

He moved to Dutch club PSV in June 2018, signing a three-year contract,[3] and rejecting an offer from Manchester United in the process.[8][9]

On 26 August 2019, Madueke made his senior debut in the Eerste Divisie for Jong PSV, coming on as a 64th minute substitute in a 1–0 loss to MVV Maastricht.[10]

After making his debut for PSV's first team on 19 January 2020, in a 1–1 draw against VVV-Venlo,[1] Madueke broke into the PSV team fully during the 2020–21 season, scoring on his first start for the club in a 2–1 win against Emmen on 19 September 2020. Madueke finished the season with seven Eredivisie goals.[11] He was later described as having a "breakout" campaign, with nine goals and eight assists in all competitions.[12]

On 7 August 2021, Madueke scored twice in a 4–0 Johan Cruyff Shield win against Ajax, in turn helping to end Ajax's 17 game unbeaten streak.[13]

On 26 August 2021, Madueke signed a new contract with PSV, keeping him at the club until 2025.[14] He was also given the number 10 jersey.[12]

Chelsea

On 20 January 2023, Premier League club Chelsea announced the signing of Madueke on a seven-and-a-half year contract,[15][16] for an estimated transfer fee £28.5 million (€33 million).[17] He scored his first goal for the club on 2 May 2023, in a 3–1 defeat away at Arsenal in Premier League.[18]

International career

Madueke has represented England at youth level,[9] scoring twice in a qualifier against Denmark under-17[19] and was a squad member at the 2019 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[20]

Madueke made his U18 debut as a 70th minute substitute during the 3–2 win over Australia at De Montfort Park on 6 September 2019.[21] He opened his goalscoring account for the U18s during a 2–0 win over South Korea at North Street on 10 September 2019.[22]

On 15 March 2021, Madueke received his first England U21 call up as part of the Young Lions squad for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship[23] and made his debut as a starter in the second group game, a 2–0 defeat to Portugal on 28 March 2021.[24] He scored his first goal for the U21s in a 4–0 friendly win over France on 25 March 2023.[25]

Style of play

Upon signing for PSV in June 2018, he was described by the club as "a creative, physically strong left-footed midfielder".[3] Madueke's manager at PSV, Roger Schmidt, stated Madueke was "able to read situations, get to the right positions and be in the right place".[11] The BBC described him as a "direct, powerful and versatile attacker" who was inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo.[12]
