Former Chelsea star Joe Cole said Noni Madueke to prove that a few people are wrong after his transfer to Arsenal this summer.
Madueke recently left the Blues to join the Gunners in a somewhat surprised decision, the English international does not necessarily seem to be good enough to improve the Mikel Arteta team.
However, Cole is a big fan of Madueke and thinks he will have a key role on the left side of the Arsenal attack.
See the video below while Cole feels that Madueke is a powerful player who can give Arsenal something a little different after the slightly indifferent form of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard lately…

Joe Cole supports the transfer of Noni Madueke to be a success for Arsenal
“I think Noni is a very, very good player,” said Cole in Hayters.
“I think Mikel Arteta would have watched … He sometimes played on left matches for Chelsea and really well done. He is powerful, he can put himself outside.
“Martinelli has missed matches through an injury, trossard of course, he scores goals, but he never really felt that he was going to get started.
“I think it’s an excellent signature for Arsenal. It improves their team and I think you will see it play a lot on the left, because it can play both sides.”
Should Madueke start matches for Arsenal?
Some arsenal fans might think that it is worth starting Madueke on Martinelli.
The Brazilian winger was poor during the weekend victory at Manchester United, so Arteta could do well to make a little change in his three before for the next match against Leeds.
Madueke has shown some potential to Chelsea, and he is still young enough so that he can improve more if we give the right advice and a decent playing time.
