Arsenal Submits £50M Offer for Chelsea Winger Madueke

Arsenal has made an official offer of around £50 million, including add-ons, to Chelsea for winger Noni Madueke, who has already agreed personal terms with the Gunners. However, Chelsea is holding out for a higher fixed fee exceeding £50 million, referencing recent high-profile transfers such as Anthony Elanga's £55 million move to Newcastle United as a benchmark. Despite Chelsea's valuation, the relationship between the clubs remains positive, and a deal is considered achievable in the coming weeks. Madueke, who has scored 11 goals and provided four assists in the 2024-25 season, faces increased competition at Chelsea following new signings and is seen as surplus to requirements by manager Enzo Maresca. Arsenal aims to bolster their attacking options this summer, with Madueke as a primary target alongside other potential signings. The ongoing negotiations reflect both clubs' ambitions and the competitive nature of the Premier League transfer market.
