Alan Smith: Chelsea s substitution of Gittens for Madueke is not an upgrade at all

Hupu News on October 14th Recently, Premier League commentators Alan Smith and Neville talked about Chelsea signing Dortmund winger Gittens to replace the transfer of England international Madueke, who has joined Arsenal this summer.

Alan Smith said: "Who can really understand Chelsea's thoughts on player transactions? Signing Gittens to replace Madueke is not an upgrade of the lineup at all. The former is now like a headless fly bumping around in a maze and has not shown his best so far. State. And this transfer was weird from the beginning, and it seems even more out of place now - but this is the current situation at Chelsea, isn't it? "

In stark contrast to Gittens' slow performance at Stamford Bridge is Madueke's move to Arsenal. Gittens has not yet participated in a goal since joining Chelsea this summer, but he quickly shined in North London after wearing a Gunners jersey. Neville did not hesitate to praise when commenting:

He said: "To be honest, I have watched many of Madueke's games at Chelsea. When Arsenal signed him, I could somewhat understand the Blues' decision to let him go. But look now! He is here Arsenal are nothing like England in recent times. His dominance on the right is amazing - this was especially true when Saka was injured a while ago. I wonder if Saka should try more on the left this season? Unexpectedly, Martinelli struggled on the left side. Madueke's impact on the right is absolutely world-class. As a former defender, when I see him dribbling the ball, I will be amazed, "It turns out he has this unique skill." "

"Although Saka is still the better player, allowing this experienced core to switch positions occasionally and flexibly switch positions with the young and energetic Madueke during the game will surely unleash greater energy. Although he was questioned in the early days of joining, he has now silenced all critics with his performance. "
