Arsenal make formal approach for Chelsea’s Madueke

Noni Madueke has been signed by Chelsea, and Arsenal has made contact with them.

The Gunners had already made an official approach to Madueke last week, according to BBC Sport, before any potential move.

According to reports, Chelsea are interested in paying around £50 million for the England international, who is 23.

Madueke started for Chelsea in the Club World Cup after beating Brazilian side Fluminense 2-0 to reach the final of the competition.

Since relocating to Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023, the wideman has scored 20 goals.

Before completing four and a half years in the Netherlands, Madueke attended Tottenham’s academy.

With Rodrygo and Eberechi Eze both being considered for attacking positions, Arsenal are looking to expand their options.
