PSV boss insists Tottenham Hotspur-linked Noni Madueke is not for sale

PSV Eindhoven boss Roger Schmidt has affirmed that Tottenham Hotspur-linked teenager Noni Madueke is not for sale this summer.

The former Spurs starlet has risen through the ranks at PSV since arriving in 2018 and enjoyed a stellar breakthrough season last term, chalking up nine goals and eight assists from 32 games in all competitions.

Tottenham are thought to be interested in bringing Madueke back to North London, while Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund have also been linked with a move, but Schmidt has rubbished any exit talk surrounding the youngster.

Speaking to ESPN, Schmidt said: "I'm not afraid [of Madueke leaving], why should I be? He will one day leave PSV if he continues to develop like he is now.

"I'm not afraid it will happen now. We can't sell key players anymore. We've already done that with Donyell Malen, Denzel Dumfries and Pablo Rosario, so we can't lose any more.

"And PSV is also a fantastic club for Noni to develop. He is very young, he can play a lot here, score goals and cheer with the team. I think he feels very good here."

Madueke has made a bright start to the 2021-22 campaign with two goals and one assist in Champions League qualifying, while he also netted twice in PSV's 4-0 Dutch Super Cup win over Ajax on Saturday.
