Arsenal announce the arrival of Noni Madueke | OneFootball

Arsenal have officially announced the signing of England international winger Noni Madueke from Chelsea.

Madueke completed his medical in London shortly after being permitted to leave Chelsea’s Club World Cup camp in the United States.

He has signed a five-year contract until 2030. The deal is worth an initial £48 million, with performance-related add-ons potentially taking the total outlay to £52m.

“I’m somebody who goes with my gut feeling a lot of the time, and I feel like it’s steered me in the right direction,” Madueke told Arsenal’s official website.

“So, I don’t think it’s going to be any different here. I think it’s going to be a great success, and I’m really happy to be here.”

The sale marks the end of a short but eventful spell at Chelsea for Madueke, who joined from PSV Eindhoven for £29m in 2023.

He scored 20 goals in 92 appearances across all competitions, the first of which came against Arsenal in January 2023.

Madueke primarily operates as a right winger but is also comfortable on the left, making him a valuable asset who can provide serious cover for Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

After finishing as Premier League runners-up in three consecutive seasons, Arsenal have signalled their intent to go one better next season by bolstering their squad.

Following in the footsteps of Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Christian Norgaard, Madueke is Arsenal’s fourth signing of the summer.

He could soon be joined by two new arrivals as Arsenal close in on the signings of Viktor Gyokeres and Cristhian Mosquera from Sporting CP and Valencia.
