Noni Madueke is set to sign his new Arsenal contract today and complete his move from Chelsea, after the final part of his medical tests with the Gunners.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Noni Madueke will sign his Arsenal contract until June 2030 later today, following the final part of his medical tests with the Gunners.
Romano previously reported that Arsenal and Chelsea had completed their exchange of documents for the transfer, with the agreement now sealed on a total package worth £52m to Chelsea. That’s comprised of an initial £48m fee and another £4m in add-ons.
Simon Jones confirms for the Daily Mail that Madueke is holding those medical tests on Monday ahead of his switch from Chelsea, with personal terms for a five-year deal already in place.
David Ornstein had reported last week that Madueke had been granted permission by Chelsea to leave their Club World Cup camp in the USA and travel back to the UK for a medical with Arsenal.
Chelsea were playing in the Club World Cup final against PSG on Sunday night, but Madueke wasn’t part of the squad for that match.
Arsenal are moving for Madueke to add depth to their wide options ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, though they’ll have to wait a while to add the winger to their pre-season squad.
Even with Madueke cutting short his Chelsea campaign by a few days, it will still be August before his mandatory holiday period is over and he can link up with his new teammates.
Arsenal are still pursuing other attacking additions, with reports that their interest in Eberechi Eze is independent of their pursuit of Madueke, and an agreement for Viktor Gyokeres almost finalised.
