Arsenal Set to Announce Noni Madueke Signing in £50m+ Deal
London, UK – July 11, 2025 – In a significant move that has sent ripples through the Premier League, Arsenal is on the verge of officially announcing the signing of Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, with a deal reportedly agreed to at a fee exceeding £50 million.
The 23-year-old England international is expected to complete his move across London in the coming days, having already agreed personal terms on a five-year contract.
The transfer comes after a busy period of negotiations between the two London rivals, with Arsenal swiftly moving to strengthen their attacking options for the upcoming season.
While Madueke primarily featured on the right wing for Chelsea, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists in 45 appearances last season, Arsenal are believed to see him as a versatile option to add depth and quality across their wide positions.
Madueke’s arrival
Madueke’s arrival marks Arsenal’s fourth signing of the summer transfer window, following the acquisitions of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, and Martin Zubimendi.
The Gunners’ pursuit of Madueke, a former Tottenham academy product, has come as a surprise to some, and the significant transfer fee has sparked debate among sections of the Arsenal fanbase. However, the club clearly views Madueke’s potential and direct playing style as a valuable asset.
For Chelsea, the sale of Madueke, who joined from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023 for £29 million, represents a healthy profit and will help to balance their financial books.
Madueke has made 92 appearances for the Blues, scoring 20 goals, but his playing time was expected to be impacted by a raft of new attacking signings at Stamford Bridge. While currently with the Chelsea squad at the Club World Cup, it is unlikely he will feature in the final.
Madueke’s imminent transfer suggests a desire for more regular first-team football, a sentiment echoed in reports that he was open to the move. Despite his talent, his time at Chelsea has at times been a divisive topic among fans, with some questioning his consistency.
However, Arsenal’s management team, having reportedly done their due diligence, are convinced he can flourish under Mikel Arteta’s guidance and become a key player for the Gunners as they aim to build on last season’s progress.
