He scored seven goals and registered six assists in the Eredivisie during the 2020\/21 campaign.<\/p>\n<h2>Transfer Race Heats up For PSV Eindhoven Star Noni Madueke<\/h2>\n<h3>The lowdown on Noni Madueke<\/h3>\n<p>The 19-year-old midfielder was born in London and spent time in Tottenham&#8217;s academy. He joined PSV in 2018 aged just 16 and has emerged as a top upcoming talent in Europe. Madueke has made a big impact for the Dutch side in this season&#8217;s Champions League qualifiers, with three direct goal involvements.<\/p>\n<p>The attacker made his England U21 debut at the summer&#8217;s European Championships against Portugal.<\/p>\n<p>A string of scouts from a number of clubs including <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/19\/juventus-receive-offers-for-young-midfielder-weston-mckennie\/\" target=\"_self\">Juventus<\/a> were reported to have watched Madeueke in PSV&#8217;s Champions League defeat to Benfica. However, PSV are eager to keep him and extend his current contract, which expires in 2024. This is especially so since they lost highly-rated striker <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/07\/26\/donyell-malen-borussia-dortmund-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Donyell Malen<\/a> to Borussia Dortmund earlier this summer.<\/p>\n<h3>Interest in Madeueke Not Surprising<\/h3>\n<p>It is not surprising that numerous clubs across Europe are interested in Noni Madeueke. He has all the attributes you look for in a winger, being fast and creative, and having the ability to beat his man. Moreover, at just 19 years of age, he has plenty of scope for further development.<\/p>\n<p>Madueke has shown he has an exceptional mentality considering he moved to the Netherlands at such a young age. His story is very similar to that of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/07\/05\/jadon-sancho-will-transform-manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jadon Sancho<\/a> and it is refreshing to see young English players not scared of going abroad to improve their football careers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"SvNxoLScR5JXuF1x_JKtYA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1234751058\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'SvNxoLScR5JXuF1x_JKtYA',sig:'lt2SJUf2edY6OtrFoimN_WHW3xyffBPZJjdae9URLEo=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1234751058',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PSV Eindhoven attacker Noni Madueke is attracting interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City, and Wolverhampton Wanderers according to Sky Sports&#8217; Lyall Thomas.
