Arsenal close to agreeing a deal with Chelsea for forward Noni Madueke; Madueke made 45 appearances for the Blues last season, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists; Madueke joined Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023 and has played 91 times for them;

Chelsea may seek to use the funds received from their London rivals to move for Morgan Rogers. Manchester United need to act fast to seal a deal for Bryan Mbeumo, with Goncalo Inacio a new name on their shortlist after strong links to Javi Guerra and strikers such as Moise Kean and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

But one transfer target that has raised eyebrows among the Arsenal faithful is Chelsea winger Noni Madueke. At a rumoured fee in excess of £50million, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, it’s easy to see why some Arsenal fans have been scratching their heads, especially given Madueke hasn’t exactly torn the league to shreds since arriving in 2023.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has backed Noni Madueke to play through the noise surrounding his future, with Arsenal considering making a bid for the England winger.
