Arsenal Close In On £52 Million Deal For Noni Madueke As Medical Set For Weekend

Arsenal and Chelsea have officially exchanged transfer documentation for Noni Madueke’s move to the Emirates, confirming a £52 million deal that sees the 23-year-old winger set to undergo a medical this weekend before signing a five-year contract with the Gunners. The agreement follows a swift negotiation between both clubs, matching Arsenal’s valuation with Chelsea’s asking price.

As part of the deal, Chelsea have granted permission for Madueke to leave their Club World Cup camp in the United States to return to England for his medical check-up. The timing ensures he completes the fitness and medical procedures without delay, while Arsenal await his official arrival to strengthen their wide attacking options for the upcoming season.

The England international has already agreed personal terms, which is a strong indication of how determined both player and club are to finalize the move. Manager Mikel Arteta views Madueke as a versatile addition, capable of playing on either wing, to supplement Bukayo Saka and increase attacking output. Arsenal are also expected to continue pursuing further signings this summer.

With documents signed and the medical pending, only formalities remain. If all goes according to plan, Arsenal will confirm Madueke’s arrival as their fourth signing of the summer. The move also reflects an ongoing trend as Arsenal continue to acquire top talent from Chelsea, following a series of high-profile transfers between the London rivals.
