London – Noni Madueke One Step Away from Joining Arsenal

Chelsea winger Noni Madueke is reportedly on the verge of joining Arsenal, having already reached a personal agreement with the North London club.

Madueke has decided to leave Chelsea following the arrival of Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund. With Gittens’ addition, Chelsea now have at least 12 attacking players in their squad, including new signings Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.

With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Madueke is seeking more guaranteed playing time, which influenced his decision to accept Arsenal’s offer. The Gunners are currently looking for a reliable backup for Bukayo Saka on the right wing, and Madueke is seen as a player who can offer healthy competition.

According to The Athletic, the 23-year-old has agreed to contract terms with Arsenal and now only needs Chelsea's approval to complete the transfer.

Madueke is still under contract with Chelsea until 2030, having joined from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023. Therefore, Arsenal will need to spend at least £45 million (approximately IDR 900 billion) to secure his signature.

So far, Arsenal have only signed Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea this summer, in a £5 million deal. Will Madueke be the next to follow him to the Emirates Stadium?
