After all but one of Arsenal's new signings made their respective debuts during the club's tour of Asia, fellow newcomer Noni Madueke is likely to make his maiden appearance against Villarreal.

Due to his involvement in Chelsea's successful Club World Cup campaign, the winger was allowed some holiday time instead of travelling with his new teammates. However, he has returned early from this in order to join up with the Gunners ahead of their final two friendlies.

Like Gyokeres, Madueke will probably come off the bench to make his debut, but it's almost guaranteed that we will see him play some minutes. With fans still torn over his signing, he will be looking to prove a point when he steps onto the Emirates pitch.
