Arsenal Push for Noni Madueke with £50 Million Bid

Arsenal have submitted a £50 million plus add-ons bid for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, who is reportedly excited about the move. Chelsea, however, want a fixed £50 million fee. Madueke, 23, has scored 11 goals and provided 5 assists this season. Personal terms are agreed, and talks continue amid Arsenal's pursuit of Rodrygo.

After the talks of Arsenal’s ongoing efforts to strengthen their attack, Chelsea winger Noni Madueke has emerged as a primary target. According to Fabrizio Romano, Madueke is “very excited” about joining the Gunners, having already agreed on personal terms. Arsenal have submitted an initial offer of £50 million plus add-ons, though Chelsea are holding out for a fixed £50 million fee with additional bonuses.

Madueke, who joined Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven, has delivered 11 goals and 5 assists this season and was part of their Club World Cup squad. Despite mixed reactions from fans, Mikel Arteta remains keen on the 23-year-old’s potential, particularly his dribbling ability and unpredictability in one-on-one situations. The player has been used mainly as a right winger but also featured on the left, albeit without direct goal contributions from that side.

Talks between the two clubs are progressing positively due to a healthy relationship, and a deal appears to be a matter of time. However, Madueke’s arrival could impact Arsenal’s pursuit of Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, as both players would demand regular playing time. For now, Arteta seems convinced Madueke could be an important part of Arsenal’s plans next season.
