Arsenal Make Contact with Chelsea over Potential Deal for 23-Year-Old Star: Reports

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 8 – Arsenal has agreed personal terms with Noni Madueke and is negotiating a transfer fee with Chelsea, who raised their asking price above £50 million after Anthony Elanga's £55 million move.

  • Arsenal have opened direct talks with Chelsea over signing 23-year-old winger Noni Madueke, who joined Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023.
  • The talks follow Arsenal conducting background checks and agreeing personal terms on a five-year contract, while Chelsea increased Madueke's valuation from £50m to £55m.
  • Madueke has played 46 times for Chelsea this season but struggled to secure a regular starting role under managers Mauricio Pochettino and Enzo Maresca.
  • Former defender Micah Richards expressed surprise at Arsenal's interest, questioning where Madueke would play given Bukayo Saka's presence, and suggested Arsenal prioritize signing a striker first.
  • If completed, the deal could hinge on finalizing valuation terms, indicating a significant transfer move that reflects Arsenal's strategic squad adjustments ahead of the new season.
