Arsenal are strong favourites to sign Noni Madueke from Chelsea this summer but he will not leave Stamford Bridge on the cheap.
Madueke, 23, was a first-team regular under Enzo Maresca last season. He featured in 32 of Chelsea's 38 Premier League games — starting in 27 of them — and produced seven goals and three assists.
However, with Liam Delap, Kendry Paez, Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Estevao Willian all arriving ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, Chelsea are now oversubscribed in Madueke's position.
Personal terms between Arsenal and Madueke have reportedly already been agreed, with journalist Fabrizio Romano claiming that both parties have settled on a five-year contract until June 2030.
