Noni Madueke might have to handle some awkward questions at Arsenal when he officially moves to the Emirates Stadium. The winger is set to join the north Londoners in a £52million deal, bringing an end to his two-year spell at Chelsea. He flew back to England last week and reportedly underwent a medical on Monday.

Twomey: The success of Chelsea’s recruitment model depends just as much on their ability to sell profitably as it does on buying intelligently. Every player who is not absolutely integral to the team Maresca is building has a price, and Madueke has never managed to make himself indispensable at Stamford Bridge.
