“I think I was the first one to do it at 16,” Madueke says. “I wasn’t really worried about moving country. Football is football. Players are realising there is a world outside of England, there are other leagues in the world that can help you reach your end goal.
“It has been a success coming here. I’m never fazed with any stage I’m on and long may that continue. I’ve got belief in myself, belief in God and I know I can perform at any level.”Last month, Madueke shone for England Under-21s alongside Tino Livramento and Luke Thomas, Leicester’s player of the season to date according to Brendan Rodgers, and the pair spoke about the prospect of facing each other.
There have been no end of memorable moments in his four years at PSV; scoring twice in a Super Cup victory last August, soaking up the experience at Benfica and Galatasaray in the Champions League this season and long before that an Under-19s game at Feyenoord when fans lit flares. “It was a crazy atmosphere. It is great to see people so passionate about even youth football.”Last week, it was confirmed Van Nistelrooy will take over from Roger Schmidt as head coach next season.
Madueke is one of the most-wanted English talents and Leicester are among those keen to sign the winger. On Wednesday, Rodgers described him as “dynamic … with a nice left foot”. “Some would say it’s an audition,” Madueke says, laughing. Madueke says he plans on being back in England “definitely sooner rather than later”.
