There were a number of Arsenal players in action for England during this international break.

Indeed, as always, Declan Rice starred for England in both of the Three Lions’ recent games, while Myles Lewis-Skelly and Eberechi Eze started against Andorra.

Noni Madueke also started both of England’s games over this international break, and he put in two solid performances.

Madueke was questioned when he initially signed for Arsenal, but he’s proving those doubters wrong.

Speaking on ITV, Roy Keane has been full of praise for Madueke, claiming that there’s one aspect of his game that is particularly excellent.

Noni Madueke’s movement is excellent

Keane spoke about Madueke and his movement on the pitch.

The pundit says that the winger looks very mature in his role at the moment, claiming that he’s starting to master the ability to make dangerous moves off the ball.

“His movement has been very good. I’ve been very impressed with him, very mature and he’s affecting games. He’s having input, putting good balls in, that’s what attacking players do, but his movement is excellent,” Keane said.

Madueke got a goal against Serbia, and he’ll be hoping to follow that up rather swiftly by opening his account for Arsenal.

Madueke is yet to score his first goal for the Gunners, but his performance for England here will surely give him plenty of confidence heading into the next phase of his Arsenal career.
