Arsenal have reportedly submitted an offer for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, intensifying the summer transfer saga surrounding the 23-year-old England international.
According to reports Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal discussed Noni Madueke internally this week as one of potential options and also Rodrigo of Real Madrid.
Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg reported that the Gunners have made an approach for the right-winger, with talks now underway between the clubs. According to him, Arsenal have reportedly submitted an initial offer to Noni Madueke as they intensify their pursuit of the Chelsea winger.
Why Eberechi Eze would be a better player for Arsenal
Chelsea could be willing and potentially sell Madueke to Arsenal for £60 million, with the player still having five years remaining on his current contract at Stamford Bridge. Despite this long-term deal, a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer appears to be a distinct possibility. Chelsea could part ways with Noni Madueke this summer as they look to offload as many as 14 players in a major squad overhaul. Madueke unexpectedly headlines the list of players the Blues could cash in on during the transfer window.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has indicated that Chelsea are not sure what they want to do with Noni Madueke this summer, leaving his future at Stamford Bridge uncertain. The club appears open to offers for the 23-year-old as they prepare for a busy summer transfer window.
Right now Chelsea are short of wingers, with Mykhailo Mudryk banned and Jadon Sancho having returned to Manchester United. This shortage makes Madueke’s potential departure even more significant for Enzo Maresca’s attacking options.
Noni Madueke joined Chelsea in a permanent move from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in January 2023. He became Chelsea’s sixth signing of that January transfer window, with the then head coach Graham Potter having tracked the player for some time.
Noni Madueke is a youth team player at both Tottenham and Chelsea, Madueke moved to PSV Eindhoven before returning to England. The 23-year-old right winger is valued at €40 million according to Transfermarkt.
Recent Performance
Why Arsenal must sign Eberechi Eze
In the 2024/25 season, Madueke hit new personal bests with 43 appearances, 11 goals, and 5 assists. Despite these contributions, Chelsea reportedly remain open to offers for the England international.
In February 2025, Madueke was injured and ruled out until late March, which affected his participation in Chelsea’s campaign during a crucial period.
International Career
Madueke has represented England at youth level, scoring twice for the under-17 team in a qualifier against Denmark. He was also a squad member at the 2019 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and has progressed through various England youth teams.
Multiple Clubs Interested
Arsenal is not the only hunter for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, several clubs are interested as they seek dynamic attackers this summer. The Gunners are also reportedly interested in players like Morgan Rogers and Eberechi Eze as alternative options. In addition to Arsenal, Napoli have also shown keen interest in securing Madueke’s services, adding another dimension to the transfer saga. The situation remains fluid with Arsenal having submitted their offer and Chelsea considering their options. The conflicting reports from various transfer sources suggest negotiations are ongoing, with Madueke’s future likely to be resolved in the coming weeks of the transfer window.
But a recent post from Fabrizio reports “No proposals or talks by any club yet, it’s an open situation.”
