Merson: Arsenal s signing of Maduaike, which made me completely confused

July 19th Merson posted a post at Sky Sports, talking about the topic of Arsenal's signing of Maduaike.

Murson's article read:

Arsenal signed Maduaike, which made me completely confused, and I was shocked by this. If Arsenal wants to buy people from Chelsea, Maduaike is definitely the one I would never have imagined. I really can't understand it. It's unusual for Arsenal to spend a lot of money to sign a player who is not a high-profit shooter. Maduaike is the type of player who can occasionally play a few good goals, but that's all, and his performance lacks stability. I hope Maduaike proves me wrong, he did have a great performance last month in England, but in the next few weeks you may not see his good form again.

In my opinion, in Chelsea last season, I would always give priority to Sancho over Maduaike. This is not disrespectful to Maduaike, but the transfer fee Arsenal paid for him really shocked me. Chelsea certainly couldn't believe that the deal could be successful. They were simply lucky. What I don't understand is that Marduk is best at the right wing, completing the shot by cutting in. And who is currently in this position? It's Saka. Moreover, Saka will not withdraw from Arsenal's starting lineup. In this way, in this era, it is really puzzling that Arsenal spent 52 million pounds to sign a substitute player.

In addition, Arsenal's Nvanelli is making his mark and he has already won first-team playing time. Everyone told me that he is very good. There is also a young player named Max Dowman in the Arsenal youth training camp. I know he is still young, but rumors and game clips show that his potential is amazing. This is where I don't understand Arsenal's signing of Maduaike. Unless they are not optimistic about Envanelli, will there be other reasons for their deal? Is Arsenal worried about Saka's future? After they complete this contract, will they suddenly consider selling Saka or other players?

Saka is a player Arsenal must ensure that it plays every week. When Saka is not on the court, Arsenal's performance will be greatly reduced. As long as Saka is healthy, he must start. Then why does Arsenal spend 52 million pounds to buy Saka's substitute?
