Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca wants Noni Madueke to stay beyond the summer transfer window, but conceded "anything can happen". (More Football News)
The Blues are looking to offload the likes of Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell, Romelu Lukaku and Trevor Chalobah before the windo▨w closes on August 30.
But Madueke, who scored in Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Servette in the first leg 🧜of their Europa Conference League play-ofꦺf, is someone Maresca wants to develop and improve.
Though the Italian wants to see a more consistent level from theꦗ former PSV winger, who scored five Premier League goals in 23 appearances last term and o🅺utperformed his expected goals (xG) by 2.5.
He said: "I really like ౠNoni. The only problem is that he has to understand that he has to b🥀e consistent during the week in training.
"He's a good player and he’s doing well with us."
Maresca believes the 🌃22-year-old will be 🥃an important member of the squad for the season, especially with the club involved in four competitions.
Though the former♑ Leicester City boss ☂knows much can change in the final days of a transfer window.
He said: "Yeah absolutely. But the rea♚lity 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 to today it will be the next one. He's doing well since he started with us.
"The only thing he has to improve is consistency, every day, ever💎y day work hard. Then he will get minutes for sure."
