Arsenal remain in talks with Chelsea regarding the potential transfer of Noni Madueke during the current window, having identified the winger as an ideal addition to their squad. The Gunners are actively seeking to strengthen their options on the flanks this summer, and Madueke is viewed as a suitable solution to address that need.

Chelsea have been focused on bringing in new attacking players in recent weeks, which has increased competition within their squad. This could make Madueke more open to a move in search of consistent playing time. A transfer to Arsenal would allow him to remain in London, eliminating the need to relocate. The fact that both clubs are based in the capital may appeal to the player, who is reportedly happy to stay in the city for the foreseeable future.

Chelsea’s valuation and Arsenal’s negotiating position
Arsenal are currently in discussions to reach an agreement, although Chelsea are said to be holding out for £50 million. The selling club are reportedly waiting for offers to come in before making a decision. Should Arsenal find themselves as the only serious bidder, they may be in a position to negotiate a reduced fee. However, the level of interest from other clubs could influence the final outcome.

From Arsenal’s perspective, Madueke is not only an ideal tactical fit but also a player whose familiarity with the Premier League and the city could make for a smooth transition. While no agreement has yet been reached, the talks are continuing with the intention of securing his services before the window closes.

Interest from other clubs complicates the pursuit
As reported by Football Insider, Arsenal may face competition from several other clubs that are also interested in signing Madueke. The Gunners would need to fend off this interest in order to complete the transfer. The level of external attention means Arsenal must act decisively if they hope to stay ahead in the race for his signature.

Should they commit fully to the deal, there is an internal belief that Madueke would favour a move to the Emirates. For now, the outcome remains dependent on both Arsenal’s strategy and the decisions made by Chelsea and the player in the coming weeks.

### 🚦 Reality check on today’s viral “£60 million Arsenal superstar, 20 G / 18 A” claim

| What the rumour says | What reliable outlets & Arsenal themselves show |
| ————————————————————————————— | ————————————————————————————————————————————————- |
| **“Deal completed… player landing for a medical tomorrow, four‑year contract signed.”** | No announcement on Arsenal.com, social channels or the Premier League’s transactions log as of 5 July 2025. |
| **Implied numbers (20 goals, 18 assists)** | No current Arsenal target fits those 2024/25 returns. Florian Wirtz hit 18 G/20 A but joined Liverpool on 13 June 2025. ([theguardian.com][1]) |
| **Speculation it’s Noni Madueke** | Arsenal have *enquired* about Madueke; Chelsea value him at \~£50 m and have **not** received a bid. ([theguardian.com][2], [telegraph.co.uk][3]) |

#### 🔍 Where the Madueke story really stands

* **Arsenal interest:** confirmed by both *The Guardian* and *The Telegraph*.

* Chelsea’s stance: open to selling in the right deal but no approach lodged yet. ([theguardian.com][2], [telegraph.co.uk][4])
* **Price tag:** Chelsea want \~£50 m; Arsenal think closer to £40 m is fair.
* **2024/25 output:** 10 goals, 4 assists in 39 appearances – solid, but nowhere near 20 + 18. ([talksport.com][5])
* **Why Arsenal like him:** left‑footed right‑winger, home‑grown, can back‑up (or rotate with) Bukayo Saka and play off either flank.

#### 🗺️ Wider winger shortlist after losing out on Nico Williams

| Target | Contract Situation | Likely Fee | Status |
| ——————————— | ————————————- | ———— | ——————————————————— |
| **Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace)** | £60 m release clause | £60 m | Talks with agents last week ([theguardian.com][2]) |
| **Anthony Gordon (Newcastle)** | Long‑term deal to 2030 | £70 m+ | Exploratory contact, price steep ([theguardian.com][2]) |
| **Rodrygo (Real Madrid)** | Open to sale if Mbappé pushes him out | £80‑85 m | Monitored; wages huge ([theguardian.com][2]) |
| **Noni Madueke (Chelsea)** | Contract 2027 | £50 m asking | Earliest realistic deal; player keen on staying in London |

#### 💷 Can Arsenal spend that much?

* **PSR headroom:** healthy after two quiet windows and Champions League revenue.
* **Outgoings:** permanent sales (Tavares, Vieira) plus possible loans (Nelson) would free further space.
* **Priorities:** winger is top, but a left‑back and No. 9 are also on Edu Gaspar’s board – which is why a *£60 m move must be surgically precise*.

—

### 📌 Bottom line

1. **No £60 m “world‑class, 20 G / 18 A” signing is official.**
2. **Madueke = genuine interest, no agreement.**
3. Expect more movement after Arsenal’s US tour kicks off (16 July); that’s Edu’s usual go/no‑go milestone for major incoming deals.

I’ll keep an eye on formal bids and medical bookings. If anything concrete drops, I’ll ping you straight away. Until then, treat the click‑bait headlines as exactly that.
