Boothroyd: Chelsea can be good for Madueke

Former England U21 manager Aidy Boothroyd feels Chelsea can be good for Noni Madueke.

Madueke is battling for regular minutes this season.

But Boothroyd said: "He's certainly a very talented young man, really excited to be called up by the Under 21s, and a little bit like Phil [Foden] last time, nobody had really heard of him until he came and played in the tournament.

"They knew a little bit about him, but that set him off on a trajectory and we're hoping Noni can create even more positive attention for the way that they play.

"He's got a lovely infectious character that comes out even over the phone."
