"Noni is an exciting and powerful young player, with his performances and numbers in recent seasons being of consistently high quality," Mikel Arteta said of Madueke.

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.

Noni Madueke has confirmed that he will leave Chelsea this summer, with his move to Arsenal set to be confirmed imminently. The Briton signed with the Blues from Eindhoven in 2023, scoring 13 goals in 67 League appearances since. But he is now set to sign for arch London rivals Arsenal in a deal understood by Standard Sport to be worth £52million.
