Arsenal Submit £50m Bid for Chelsea’s Madueke as Talks Progress

Arsenal have submitted an initial offer for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, with the bid structured around a £50 million package including performance-related add-ons. The player has already agreed personal terms with Arsenal and is eager to make the switch.

Chelsea, however, are standing firm on their valuation, seeking a fixed fee above £50 million. The club is using the recent Anthony Elanga transfer to Newcastle—valued at £55 million—as a reference point in the negotiation.

Despite differences in valuation, dialogue between the two London sides remains positive. Arsenal view Madueke as a strategic addition to bolster their attacking depth, especially on the right flank alongside Bukayo Saka.

Madueke enjoyed a solid campaign last season, recording 11 goals and five assists in 45 appearances. His versatility, with the ability to operate on either wing, adds to his appeal for Arsenal's plans moving forward.
