ObasEmpire reports that Madueke, born to Nigerian parents but represents England internationally, left the Chelsea team in the United States just hours after the semifinal win over Fluminense.
He returned to London to for his medical and to put finishing touches on his move to Arsenal.
Speaking to Gerard Moreno, Spanish full-back Cucurella, said the England player has missed a golden opportunity to have the FIFA Club World Cup medal
Cucurella wondered why Madueke failed to delay his move to Arsenal by a couple of days.
As quoted by ObasEmpire, the Spain international said, “He[Trump] put it in his pocket. He has it there in the White House, very well placed.
Yes, I think so. I think he missed a good opportunity…
In the end, I think it could have delayed him a couple of days since he left a day early or something like that. ”
The left-back said it would not have cost Madueke anything to wait until the final match of the competition
“I think he missed a pretty good opportunity.”
