Arsenal have made a bold move in the summer transfer window, reaching a full agreement with Chelsea for the signing of English winger Noni Madueke. The deal is now in the “Here We Go” stage — the hallmark confirmation that it’s all but official.

After weeks of behind-the-scenes work, the Gunners initiated contact with Madueke’s camp, swiftly moving forward with personal terms. The player has agreed to a five-year contract running until 2030. Following that, indirect club-to-club negotiations with Chelsea began — and now, it’s all done.

The total fee is expected to be £52 million, add-ons included. While the price may raise eyebrows among fans, Arsenal are confident in Madueke’s potential. Mikel Arteta sees him as a versatile attacking option — capable of playing on both wings. On the right, he’ll provide crucial backup and competition for Bukayo Saka, while also offering depth on the left flank.

What’s particularly notable is the strong relationship between Arsenal and Chelsea, which helped smoothen negotiations and avoid drawn-out discussions. The process moved quickly, with clubs now exchanging final documents, and a medical set to follow.

Sources also reveal that Arteta himself was deeply involved, personally speaking to Madueke in recent days to explain Arsenal’s vision and project. The player’s positive response accelerated the deal further.

With the move all but official, Noni Madueke is set to become Arsenal’s newest attacking weapon — a signing that speaks to the club’s long-term ambitions and belief in developing young, dynamic talent.
