Gary Neville: Maduaike is very good on the right side. Can Saka change to the left side?

September 11th Gary Neville suggested that Saka could change positions at Arsenal, so that Maduaike could perform at its best.

Saka is currently out of the match with a hamstring injury and missed England's World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia; Maduaike started the two games under Tuchel and performed well on the right wing, which triggered the possibility of Arteta facing a choice in the coming weeks.

Gary Neville said in the podcast: "Maduaike obviously performed better on the right, and this was obvious when Saka left a few weeks ago. Can Saka play on the left? Martinelli struggled a little on the left, can Saka go back to the left and let Maduaike stay on the right?"

"You can clearly see that Maduaike looks great on the right. (When against Serbia) Some of his running was definitely top level. I was watching the game from the perspective of a full-back and thought, 'Oh, I don't know he has this move, I don't know he has this move.'"

" Maduaike is a young player. Saka is a more experienced player and the best player, which is clear. Should the best player switch with him, play on the left for half an hour, and then switch back? "

Arsenal legend Ian Wright responded: "Don't ask me about Saka playing on the left, I don't even want to comment on this. Everything Esaka has done on the right so far, will you move Saka to the left and move Maduaike to the right?"

Maduaike joined this summer with a transfer fee of 52 million pounds to provide competition for Saka, who also suffered from serious hamstring problems last season.

Gary Neville said: "To be honest, when Arsenal signed him, I saw him many times at Chelsea. I was like, 'I understand why Chelsea let him go'. But I tell you, he's been completely different at Arsenal and in England in recent weeks."
