Noni Madueke has revealed that he has been keenly watching videos of Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappe, to better his finishing.
Madueke said that he focuses on their best clips to fine-tune himself in the attacking department.
Noni Madueke can function as a right winger or center-forward and he joined Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven on January 20, 2023, for a fee of €35 million.
The 21-year-old has made 16 appearances for the Stamford Bridge club since his arrival, scoring 2 goals and providing no assist.
Madueke isn’t a mainstay in the first-team of Chelsea, but he has the qualities to become a regular in the coming matches.

Speaking in an interview, Noni Madueke made the interesting revelation, the Englishman said:
“I look at the best. James Ryder, our analyst, clipped up Mbappe and Salah, so I watch them a lot”
The Englishman noted areas that he would need to improve upon, saying: “One thing I’ve got to add to my game is the easier goals, the one-touch goals – that’s what I’m trying to improve.”
Madueke recently scored for England U21s in a 9-1 smashing of Serbia by the Young Lions.
The 21-year-old scored two well-taken goals in the game and it appears like he is learning from the clips of Kylian Mbappe and Mohamed Salah that he has been watching.
Noni Madueke, whose only start for Chelsea came in a Carabao Cup game against AFC Wimbledon has also tipped himself to deliver for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
He said: “I definitely back myself. It’s just a matter of time before things click; I’ve just got to get my head down and work hard, I’ve got the ability and talent to do well.”
Madueke expressed how relieved and pleased he is at scoring for the Three Lions of England.
The Englishman said: “It’s difficult, it’s not easy. But every player goes through it, so I’ll be all right. It was good to get a run out for England. I thank God for the goals and the performance, I’m chuffed.”
Noni Madueke and Chelsea
Meanwhile, Chelsea return to action on Saturday, October 21, 2023, in a Premier League encounter against Arsenal.
The encounter promises to be intriguing and intense, as this game often delivers in epic proportions.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal go into this game as favorites, but with the upturn in fortunes recently for Chelsea, the game should be a spectacle to behold.
Noni Madueke is also in contention to feature for Mauricio Pochettino’s side in the game, although one can’t be certain of his role in the game.
Pochettino could opt to utilize Madueke from the bench this season, as he has done in most matches this campaign.
The Gunners come into this game off the back of a statement victory over Manchester City, while Chelsea come into the game off the back of a smashing win over Burnley.
