Arsenal have been linked a number of players who can operate from the left side of attack. Rodrygo, Anthony Gordon and Eberechi Eze have all been suggested as targets. If they were to sign the Crystal Palace man, it would represent a thumb in the eye to their north London rivals, as Spurs have long been linked with the 27-year-old. Romano reports a move for Madueke would not preclude the Gunners from pulling the trigger on a bid for Eze.

Madueke was a key part of Enzo Maresca's side last term, making 44 appearances in all competitions.
