Noni Madueke sends heartfelt message to Jadon Sancho as Premier League move beckons
Noni Madueke has reached out to Jadon Sancho on social media as the free agent prepares to return to the Premier League soon.
Sancho has been without a club since he left Man United upon the expiry of his contract in June.
The 26-year-old saw the club decide against triggering a one-year extension option in his deal after failing to feature for their first team in the previous two seasons.
He has been linked with several different moves throughout the summer and into the new campaign, but is still yet to find another club.
Sancho is still believed to be on the radar of several Premier League sides, who are weighing up contract offers, and he took to Instagram on Monday to signal that he is ready to return to action.
Close friend and former teammate Madueke responded to his post, with his own future at Arsenal under the spotlight ahead of the January window.

Sancho's career has certainly not panned out as many expected it to after he burst onto the scene as a youngster at Borussia Dortmund.
His failed move to United led Dortmund, Chelsea and Aston Villa to take him on loan in recent seasons to try to help rediscover that previous strong form.
Sancho only registered four goal contributions in 39 appearances for the Villans last season before becoming a free agent.
Sources have exclusively revealed to Football Insider that several Premier League clubs remain keen on signing Sancho in the coming months, and he is clearly keeping fit as he waits for the right opportunity.
The 26-year-old posted a training video to his Instagram page on Monday, with several footballers replying, as former Chelsea teammate Madueke wrote: "1 Peter 5:10...I believe in you brother" with a fingers-crossed emoji.
What is the latest on Madueke's Arsenal future?
Madueke is facing an uncertain future of his own as he struggles for regular game time at Arsenal.
The England winger is yet to start a Premier League game this season after Bukayo Saka's return to full match fitness.
Football Insider's sources have revealed that Mikel Arteta does not want to sell Madueke in January, but he is attracting attention from several high-profile clubs.
The Telegraph have reported this week that Atletico Madrid and Juventus are each keen on signing him ahead of January, so it could be up to him to push for a move if he continues to watch from the sidelines.
