Arsenal Football Club has reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign winger Noni Madueke in a transfer deal valued at approximately £52 million, including add-ons. The 23-year-old England international has agreed to a five-year contract with Arsenal, valid until June 2030, and has prioritized the move to the Emirates Stadium over other interested clubs. Personal terms between Madueke and Arsenal were finalized prior to official club-to-club negotiations, which began following Arsenal's submission of an initial bid around £50 million. Chelsea, who acquired Madueke from PSV Eindhoven for £29 million in 2023, had initially set a valuation above £50 million, reportedly closer to £60 million, but ultimately agreed to the current fee. Madueke was granted permission by Chelsea to leave their Club World Cup camp in the United States to undergo a medical examination with Arsenal and complete the transfer. The deal is expected to be finalized imminently, marking another high-profile transfer between the two London clubs.
