Arsenal expected to sign Noni Madueke from Chelsea in a £52m deal; Madueke made 45 appearances for the Blues last season, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists; Madueke joined Chelsea from PSV in January 2023 and has played 91 times;

Madueke is expected to bolster Arsenal’s options on both wings, although becoming a regular fixture on the right flank is unlikely because of Bukayo Saka’s presence, Instead, his ability to play on the left and challenge Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard for minutes is likely what’s persuaded Arteta into authorising his signing.

Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign Noni Madueke in the current transfer window, with the winger leaving Chelsea’s American base to return to England and finalise the deal.
