The mood around Arsenal at the moment is a positive one.
They've won three of four games in the Premier League, won their first Champions League game of the season and have only conceded one goal in all five matches.
Moreover, while they are still likely to get called negative and boring by some in the media, the Gunners are playing some nice football.

One of the reasons has been the impressive form of Noni Madueke, who is proving plenty of his doubters wrong so far.
However, while the former Chelsea star is looking like a great signing, Arsenal already had a homegrown version of him years ago, and now that player is one of the best in the world.

Madueke's start to life at Arsenal
It wouldn't be unfair to say that Madueke's first few games at Arsenal weren't overly impressive, as while he offered some threat against Liverpool and did well enough off the left against Leeds, he didn't blow anyone away.

However, since coming back from a successful international break in which he forced an own goal against Andorra and opened his own account against Serbia, he's looked near enough unplayable.
For example, while he didn't register a goal involvement against Forest, the 23-year-old dynamo was a constant threat down the right-hand side, taking 65 touches, completing five dribbles, playing five key passes, creating one big chance and registering an impressive expected assists figure of 0.71.
However, even without the data, it was clear that the Englishman was doing some things right by the eye-test, and the way in which the crowd would react excitedly whenever he was on the ball in a dangerous area.
It was much of the same against Bilbao, as he was once again a constant and direct threat on the right-hand side.
In fact, he should have really racked up an assist, as after driving into the box in the first half, he delivered a brilliant pass to Eberechi Eze's feet, only for him to take too long to shoot and lose the ball.

Overall, Madueke is really starting to show supporters and pundits alike just why Arteta wanted to sign him.
However, there is another winger on the continent who was once in Arsenal's academy, someone who could have been their homegrown version of the former Chelsea ace.

Like any other big club, Arsenal have let their fair share of future stars go as youngsters, from Harry Kane to the recently re-signed Eze.
However, perhaps one of the very worst instances of this for the Gunners is Michael Olise.
Before spending time in the academies of Chelsea, Manchester City and Reading, the young Frenchman spent a short period in Hale End.

The small saving grace here, then, is the fact that a couple of other 'big six' sides passed up on the incredible talent, but given his outrageous performances for Crystal Palace and now Bayern Munich, it must still frustrate the Gunners' hierarchy that they didn't keep him on the books.
Since moving to Germany for £50m last summer, the 23-year-old has been on fire.

In 61 appearances, totalling 4382 minutes, the ten-capped game-changer has scored 24 goals and provided 25 assists.
That breaks down to an outrageously impressive average of a goal involvement every 1.24 games, or every 89.42 minutes, and more than justifies Oliver Glasner's claim that he's "one of the best talents in the world."
Now, while he is clearly a more dangerous player than Madueke at the moment, there are some similarities between the pair, notably their ability to carry the ball into dangerous areas.
For example, FBref ranks the Bayern star in the top 4% of attacking midfielders and wingers in Europe's top five leagues for carries into the final third and the top 8% for overall carries.
Olise
In comparison, the Gunners' new star sits in the top 1% for progressive carries and carries into the penalty area.
Even then, we can be fairly certain that Arsenal would rather have Olise in their team, and had they kept hold of him all those years ago, perhaps they would've had their own world-class homegrown Madueke.
