Arsenal’s latest attacking addition, Noni Madueke, is already making headlines: not for a match, but for putting in extra work on holiday. A video surfaced showing the 23-year-old winger keeping sharp ahead of his first days in north London.
Madueke is expected to join his new Arsenal teammates at London Colney once the boys are back from the Asia tour as Mikel Arteta prepares for a packed 2025/26 season. The club is aiming to integrate him quickly, and his commitment off the pitch is already turning heads among fans and staff alike.

In the short clip, Madueke can be seen juggling and striking the ball cleanly on his own time, a subtle but powerful message. Arsenal have invested in a winger who isn’t just talented, but driven.
The former Chelsea and PSV man is known for his flair, quick feet, and willingness to take defenders on but it’s his off-ball discipline and growing maturity that could define his next chapter. Training while away from the club environment shows he’s ready to hit the ground running.
How Madueke fits into Arteta’s plans
With the Gunners pushing on four fronts next season, squad rotation will be essential. Madueke offers something different in wide areas, a direct, unpredictable style that could be crucial against low-block defences in the Premier League and Champions League group stages.
His arrival also adds competition for spots out wide, particularly on the right flank where Bukayo Saka has had little rest. Whether Madueke starts or plays the impact role, he brings options Arteta didn’t have last season — and that could be decisive in the title run-in.

This is the kind of energy Arsenal fans want to see before a ball is even kicked. Madueke being with the ball even during his holiday (irrespective if it is for fun or not) shows hunger, focus, and a mindset that fits the club’s trajectory. If his attitude matches his talent, this could be one of the smartest signings of the window and a real weapon in Arsenal’s push for silverware.
