Chelsea winger Noni Madueke is set to undergo medical tests ahead of a high-profile move to Arsenal after both Premier League clubs reached an agreement worth over £50 million for the England international.
According to reliable football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the deal has progressed significantly with both clubs giving the green light to proceed with the transfer. Madueke has reportedly agreed to a five-year contract with the Gunners.
Romano confirmed the development on Thursday night, stating: "EXCLUSIVE: Noni Madueke to Arsenal, here we go! Fee agreed in excess of £50m with add-ons included, green light from Chelsea. Madueke already agreed a five year deal at Arsenal days ago and he's now set to complete the move."
The transfer has moved forward despite significant opposition from Arsenal supporters on social media platforms, who have expressed concerns about the signing. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta appears determined to strengthen his squad depth as the club prepares for another Premier League title challenge.
Madueke, who has shown promise during his time at Stamford Bridge, is expected to provide valuable cover for Bukayo Saka on the left wing, though the versatile attacker can also operate effectively from the right flank. This tactical flexibility likely appealed to Arsenal's technical staff as they look to bolster their attacking options.
The £50 million transfer fee represents a significant investment for Arsenal and indicates the club's ambition to compete at the highest level both domestically and in European competitions. For Chelsea, the sale aligns with their ongoing squad restructuring under their current ownership.
This transfer continues the trend of direct deals between the London rivals, with players moving between the clubs despite their competitive relationship in the Premier League.
