Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Arsenal and Chelsea have agreed on a £52m fee for Noni Madueke. Arteta was keen on the winger, who was also desperate to join the north London club. Madueke had agreed to join Arsenal in the prior days, but Arsenal and Chelsea had different valuations of the player.

But one transfer target that has raised eyebrows among the Arsenal faithful is Chelsea winger Noni Madueke. At a rumoured fee in excess of £50million, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, it’s easy to see why some Arsenal fans have been scratching their heads, especially given Madueke hasn’t exactly torn the league to shreds since arriving in 2023.
