Noni Madueke, the Chelsea winger of Nigerian Igbo heritage, has chosen to downplay his team’s chances in the ongoing Premier League title race for the 2024/25 season.
When questioned about Chelsea’s potential as title contenders, he responded with confusion, stating, “What? I don’t even know what that is. I don’t even know what you’re talking about!”
This reaction underscores his desire to maintain focus and avoid any premature celebration of Chelsea’s current form, as the season is still unfolding.
The 22-year-old player has made a big impact this season, contributing five goals and three assists across 15 league matches.
However, Madueke recognizes the need for greater consistency to help propel Chelsea past rivals like Liverpool, who currently sit at the top of the table.
His recent performances have been notable, including a hat-trick in a commanding 6-2 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Despite his success, Madueke remains grounded and cautious about making bold predictions regarding Chelsea’s title aspirations.
