Legendary Dutch coach claims PSG target is more talented than Chelsea winger Madueke
Published: March 05, 2023Legendary Dutch coach Aad de Mos has waxed lyrical about PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko and reckons that the Belgium U21 international is more talented than Noni Madueke.
Madueke ended his association with the Dutch giants in the January transfer window after signing a seven-and-and-a-half-year contract with Chelsea, with a club option for the 2030-2031 season.
The England U21 international of Nigerian descent registered 20 goals and 14 assists in 80 games as a PSV player before moving to Stamford Bridge.
With the departure of Madueke to Chelsea, Bakayoko is beginning to get more game time, having started the last five matches played by the Eindhoven club in the Eredivisie
French champions PSG were interested in signing Bakayoko in January and made a bid of €15 million, but PSV decided to hold onto to the right winger.
"I've already seen him at Anderlecht's U14. Those are talents, they always do the same and don't need a trainer. Van Nistelrooij knows that too, because he coached him at Jong PSV. He also scored a lot there," Aad de Mos said on Good Morning Eredivisie via PSV Fans.
"I don't know if we have the images, but that first goal he scores against ADO Den Haag... Only very big ones can do that.
"That's not normal how he takes that ball in one go. That's the hardest ball that you can get. He may change direction, but still.
"He is a down-to-earth boy and also better between his ears than Noni Madueke,"
PSV Eindhoven will receive approximately 40 million euros from the sale of Madueke to Chelsea.
