Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has revealed he wants Noni Madueke to stay at the club but is unsure whether he will succeed.

    The 22-year-old scored a superb goal from Enzo Fernandez’s through ball as the Reds beat Servette 2-0 in the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off on Thursday.

    With the window still around a week away, Madueke has been linked with a move away after the club splashed the cash to add new players, particularly in attack, which has seen Pedro Neto and, more recently, Joao Felix join the likes of Chelsea, but Maresca has said he wants to keep the England Under-21 international at the club.

    “I really like Noni. The only problem is that he has to understand the consistency of playing every week and in training,” Maresca said.

    “But he’s a good player and he’s done well for us since the start of pre-season.”

    Asked if he wanted Madueke to stay ยูฟ่าเบท, Maresca said: “Yes, of course. But the problem, the truth is that until the market closes anything can happen. But of course Noni is the type of player I like.”

Asked whether Madueke has a future at Chelsea, he said: “Yeah absolutely. But the reality is until the window closes, anything can happen. But for sure Noni is the kind of player that I like. We have so many games. If it’s not today it will be the next one, or the next one. Noni, I like him. He’s doing well since he started with us.

“The only thing he has to improve is consistency; every day, every day work hard. Then he will get minutes for sure.”
