Noni Madueke has been given permission by Chelsea to undergo a medical with Arsenal.<\/p>\n
The England international, 23, will not train with Chelsea in the United States on Friday and instead travel back to the UK.<\/p>\n
An agreement has been reached on a \u00a352million ($70.38m) deal while personal terms were previously agreed on a five-year contract.<\/p>\n
Madueke is set to become the second player to move from Chelsea to Arsenal this summer after goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga made the move across the capital for \u00a35m. Raheem Sterling, Jorginho, Kai Havertz and Willian also all moved from Stamford Bridge to north London during manager Mikel Arteta\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n
After joining Chelsea from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in 2023 in a deal worth \u20ac33m, Madueke made 92 appearances for the west London club, scoring 20 goals and providing nine assists. He appeared in five of Chelsea\u2019s Club World Cup games in the U.S., where Enzo Maresca\u2019s side have reached the tournament\u2019s final.<\/p>\n
Madueke began his career in the academies of Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur before moving to PSV as a 16-year-old in 2018. Initially appearing for the club\u2019s reserve side, he made his senior debut in January 2020 and went on to become an established part of the team the following season. He made 80 appearances for the club, recording 20 goals and 13 assists.<\/p>\n
The England international is Arsenal\u2019s fourth signing of the summer after the arrivals of Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad and Christian Norgaard from Brentford.<\/p>\n
