Arsenal Monitors Chelsea Winger Madueke Amid Transfer Uncertainty

Arsenal is actively seeking to strengthen its wide attacking options ahead of the 2025 season, with Chelsea winger Noni Madueke emerging as a key target amid uncertainty over his future at Stamford Bridge. Although Arsenal has not yet made a formal offer or opened talks, they are closely monitoring Madueke’s situation, along with other potential targets such as Nico Williams and Kaoru Mitoma. Madueke, known for his pace and versatility on both flanks, scored 11 goals and provided five assists last season and has received praise from Arsenal players Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice during their time together on the England national team. Chelsea does not consider Madueke untouchable but has not actively marketed him, while competing Premier League clubs including Newcastle and Tottenham are also interested. Arsenal’s Director of Football, Andrea Berta, is keen on adding depth to support Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, especially given Saka’s recent hamstring issues. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s transfer pursuits also include RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Swedish striker Vikor Gyokeres, though no breakthrough has been made on Sesko due to his high valuation.
