Chelseas recent signings of Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, and Jamie Gittens are set to significantly reduce playtime for Noni Madueke, leading to the Arsenals readiness to resolve the situation with the 23-year-old English winger. According to British media, an agreement has been reached between Arsenal and Madueke for five seasons, and the club has officially contacted Chelsea to initiate transfer negotiations. Chelsea is currently demanding more than 50 million pounds 58 million euros for the player, who was signed from PSV for 35 million euros in January 2023. The Gunners have made an offer of 58 million euros, but with variables included. Since joining Chelsea, Madueke has played 92 matches and scored 20 goals.
The transfer discussions are ongoing and have not yet been finalized. Meanwhile, Madueke is currently participating in the World Club Cup, where he aims to secure a victory for Chelsea this Sunday in the final against either PSG or Real Madrid.
Arsenal, who finished as runners-up in the last two seasons of the Premier League and reached the Champions League semi-finals, is determined to strengthen its squad to contend for championships. The club has already acquired midfielder Martín Zubimendi from Real Sociedad for 70 million euros and keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea, who was previously on loan at Bournemouth, for 5.8 million euros. With these acquisitions, Arsenal is focusing on reinforcing its attack by considering Madueke, along with other wingers, Rodrygo from Real Madrid, and Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.
It remains to be seen if Arsenal can close the deal for Madueke or any of their other targets. Regardless, it is clear that the club is intent on bolstering its roster as it seeks to take the final step towards winning titles.,
