Arsenal have secured personal terms with Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, clearing an initial hurdle toward a potential summer transfer. The 23-year-old England international has signalled he is open to joining Mikel Arteta’s squad, which is seeking additional depth on both flanks. No formal negotiations have yet taken place between the Premier League clubs. Arsenal are weighing whether to lodge an opening bid after sounding out a price of roughly £40 million, while Chelsea are understood to value Madueke closer to £50 million. The forward is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2030 and is currently focused on the Club World Cup with Chelsea. Arsenal and Chelsea maintain a working relationship, having already completed the £5 million transfer of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga earlier this window. Madueke made 45 appearances for Chelsea last season, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists despite a hamstring lay-off.
