According to a ranking shared by Squawka on X on Monday, November 9, 2026, Arsenal winger Noni Madueke recorded the highest number of touches inside the opposition penalty area during Gameweek 10 of the 2026/27 Premier League season.
The Nigerian-born attacker finished top of the ranking after registering 14 touches in the opposition box, placing him ahead of nine other players who also featured on the list. His achievement highlights his attacking involvement and ability to get into dangerous positions when Arsenal move forward.
Madueke’s 14 touches were three more than those recorded by Yéremy Pino of Crystal Palace, who occupied second position with 11 touches. Manchester United’s Amad Diallo came third after recording 10 touches inside the opposition penalty area.
Another player listed among the top performers was Christos Tzolis, who finished fourth with nine touches. His position alongside Madueke means two players identified as Arsenal attackers featured among the top four in the ranking.
Fulham’s Oscar Bobb occupied fifth position with eight touches, the same number recorded by Brighton and Hove Albion players Maxim De Cuyper and Diego Gómez. Manchester City striker Erling Haaland also registered eight touches to complete the group of players tied on that figure.
Further down the ranking, Coventry City’s Jack Rudoni recorded seven touches to occupy ninth position. He was level with Brighton midfielder Pascal Groß, who also managed seven touches inside the opposition box.
Madueke’s position at the top of the ranking is an indication of his involvement in Arsenal’s attacking play during the gameweek. Getting into the opposition penalty area regularly is an important part of a winger’s contribution, as it creates opportunities to receive passes, challenge defenders and become involved in goal-scoring situations.
The achievement also places the Arsenal winger ahead of several established attacking players, including Manchester City’s Haaland and Manchester United’s Diallo.
For Madueke, the statistic provides another positive indication of his attacking presence in the Premier League. His position at the top of the list also draws attention to his ability to find space in dangerous areas and contribute to his team’s attacking efforts.
