Rio Ngumoha has just named Noni Madueke as one of the best wingers to watch in the Premier League, but has surprisingly overlooked Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka.
Madueke’s £52 million move to Arsenal raised eyebrows over the summer as the struggling Chelsea forward made the switch across London.

On the whole, the 24-year-old has been one of the Gunners’ best performers this campaign, producing several big moments.
Madueke’s flair and ability to beat defenders make him one of the more exciting players to watch in the division, and it’s no wonder Ngumoha is a big fan.

Rio Ngumoha loves watching Arsenal winger Noni Madueke and has ranked him as one of the top three wingers in the Premier League.
The 17-year-old also picked Jeremy Doku and Mohammed Salah, placing the Arsenal star in very strong company.
When asked by ESPN for his three favourite wingers to watch, Ngumoha said: “Right now, I’ll say Doku, Mo and Noni. I like Noni!”
The Liverpool talent made the point that he is a big fan of Madueke, which may come as a surprise to many Premier League fans.
So far this season, the Arsenal star has six goals and three assists in 25 matches, and is pushing for a spot in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the World Cup.
Agree or disagree: Noni Madueke has to start ahead of Bukayo Saka against Wolves
Madueke’s hopes of getting more minutes at the Emirates Stadium have just been boosted following Bukayo Saka’s move to midfield.
Saka impressed in the number ten role against Wigan, and Mikel Arteta looks set to continue using him in midfield for the foreseeable future.

Arteta believes that Saka and Madueke’s connection is getting the best out of both players, and their friendly rivalry is great for Arsenal.
Speaking to the media, Arteta said: “Anybody who has played sports or worked with people in their teams and their environments, who are willing to see and do things together in the morning, is much better with someone you want to look at their face.
“So, yeah, it’s very pleasant. I think they enjoy their company, and I think they make each other better.”
