Chukwunonso "Noni" Tristan Madueke (born 10 March 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays for Eredivisie club PSV, as a winger and attacking midfielder.

Early life

Madueke is of Nigerian Igbo descent.[2][3] Born in Barnet,[4] Madueke moved to the small village of Wintelre with his mother upon signing for PSV.[5]

Club career

Madueke joined Crystal Palace at the age of nine and spent three years at the club.[6] He subsequently joined Tottenham Hotspur; he captained their under-16 side and made his under-18 debut at the age of 15.[2][6] He moved to Dutch club PSV in June 2018, signing a three-year contract,[2] and rejecting an offer from Manchester United in the process.[7][8]

On 26 August 2019, Madueke made his senior debut in the Eerste Divisie for Jong PSV, coming on as a 64th minute substitute in a 1–0 loss to MVV Maastricht.[9]

After making his debut for PSV's first team on 19 January 2020, in a 1–1 draw against VVV-Venlo,[1] Madueke broke into the PSV team fully during the 2020–21 season, scoring on his first start for the club in a 2–1 win against Emmen on 19 September 2020. Madueke finished the season with seven Eredivisie goals.[10] He was later described as having a "breakout" campaign, with nine goals and eight assists in all competitions.[11]

On 7 August 2021, Madueke scored twice in a 4–0 Johan Cruyff Shield win against Ajax, in turn helping to end Ajax's 17 game unbeaten streak.[12]

On 26 August 2021, Madueke signed a new contract with PSV, keeping him at the club until 2025.[13] He was also given the number 10 jersey.[11]

International career

Madueke has represented England at youth level,[8] scoring twice in a qualifier against Denmark under-17[14] and was a squad member at the 2019 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[15]

Madueke made his U18 debut as a 70th minute substitute during the 3–2 win over Australia at De Montfort Park on 6 September 2019.[16] He opened his goalscoring account for the U18s during a 2–0 win over South Korea at North Street on 10 September 2019.[17]

On 15 March 2021, Madueke received his first England U21 call up as part of the Young Lions squad for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship[18] and made his debut as a starter in the second group game, a 2–0 defeat to Portugal on 28 March 2021.[19]

Style of play

Upon signing for PSV in June 2018, he was described by the club as "a creative, physically strong left-footed midfielder".[2] Madueke's manager at PSV, Roger Schmidt, stated Madueke was "able to read situations, get to the right positions and be in the right place".[10] The BBC described him as a "direct, powerful and versatile attacker" who was inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo.[11]
