Arsenal have completed the signing of Noni Madueke from London rivals Chelsea, the clubs confirmed Friday. Sources have told ESPN that Arsenal agreed a fee of £48 million ($64.6m) plus £4m in add-ons for the 23-year-old, who joins on a five-year contract. Chelsea signed Madueke from PSV Eindhoven in 2023 for £30m.

Arsenal fans started a petition labelled #NoToMadueke ahead of the signing, and it was shockingly signed by more than 5,000 fans, while others blamed Mikel Arteta for this deal. Madueke could be a great addition to this stacked Arsenal team heading into a make-or-break season for their manager, Arteta.

Arsenal's transfer spree continued with the signing of England forward Noni Madueke from Chelsea on Friday. He is Arsenal ’s fourth signing of the offseason after midfielders Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgard and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
