Arsenal Targets Chelsea Striker Noni Madueke for Transfer
July 9, 2025
Arsenal is reportedly in negotiations with Chelsea to secure the transfer of forward Noni Madueke. The player seems open to the move, and personal terms are not anticipated to be a stumbling block if an agreement can be reached between the two London rivals.
Arsenal Football Club is reportedly in active discussions with Chelsea Football Club for the transfer of forward player, Noni Madueke. The initial contact has been established, and it is understood that Madueke is open to the idea of crossing the city to join the Gunners. It is also reported that personal terms are unlikely to pose a problem if both teams can agree on a deal. Arsenal has been on the lookout for a left-sided forward this summer, and Madueke, who played 33 times on the right side of Chelsea's attack in the 2024/25 season, could fit the bill. Chelsea acquired Madueke from PSV Eindhoven for £29m in January 2023, and he still has five years remaining on his contract. Nevertheless, Chelsea has significantly bolstered its attacking options this summer, which might open the door for Madueke's exit. In addition to Madueke, Arsenal has also been eyeing other forward players, including Real Madrid's Rodrygo. It remains unclear at this point which deal the club is prioritising.
