<p>No contact has been made between the two clubs and talks are in their infancy, according to Fabrizio Romano. However, Madueke is believed to be open to the move. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-told-how-much-chelsea-star-noni-madueke-gunners-hit-stalemate-benjamin-sesko-chase/blt44b8a69135999ca4#cs2ef84a2d39f3bf14" target="_self">Prior reporting suggested Chelsea value the winger at £50m</a>.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨🔴⚪️ Understand Arsenal had new round of talks for Noni Madueke as the player could be open to the move.<br><br>Nothing advanced yet in terms of club to club approach or direct negotiations but <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AFC</a> mantain contacts.<br><br>❗️ Separate from Eberechi Eze deal.<br><br>🎥 <a href="https://t.co/UW0VwJHghp">https://t.co/UW0VwJHghp</a> <a href="https://t.co/wHQCvCj0h8">pic.twitter.com/wHQCvCj0h8</a></p>— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1940867512998195671?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 3, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Arsenal have been linked a number of players who can operate from the left side of attack. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/why-arsenal-chances-rodrygo-transfer-increasing-real-madrid-winger-upgrade-gabriel-martinelli/blt801ab9b8f756bf45" target="_blank">Rodrygo</a>, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/gabriel-martinelli-arsenal-rodrygo-anthony-gordon-transfer-pursuits-revealed/blt2aa3772e10c19ffc" target="_blank">Anthony Gordon</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-tottenham-eberechi-eze-gunners-crystal-palace-rodrygo/blt3a4e7deeeb09a114" target="_blank">Eberechi Eze </a>have all been suggested as targets. If they were to sign the Crystal Palace man, it would represent a thumb in the eye to their north London rivals, as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/north-london-transfer-battle-arsenal-bid-hijack-rivals-tottenham-move-crystal-palace-talisman-eberechi-eze/blt76c7445d8c843a02" target="_blank">Spurs have long been linked with the 27-year-old</a>. Romano reports a move for Madueke would not preclude the Gunners from pulling the trigger on a bid for Eze.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Chelsea have added to the glut of wingers and attacking midfielders already at their disposal, signing <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-confirm-gbp60m-joao-pedro-signing-from-brighton-special-samba-announcement-video/blt446826898115da40" target="_blank">Joao Pedro from Brighton for £60m</a> and welcoming <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-gbp56m-estevao-willian-deal-palmeiras/blt57be01458e565c74#:~:text=Blues%20confirm%20%C2%A356m%20Estevao,next%20summer%20%7C%20Goal.com%20UK" target="_blank">Estevao from Palmeiras after signing the wonderkid last summer</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Madueke was a key part of Enzo Maresca's side last term, making 44 appearances in all competitions. However, with a logjam of players fighting for the two spots either side of Nicolas Jackson or Liam Delap, a move to the Emirates will look appealing. He will need to keep his attention on Chelsea duty for the time being, as the Blues continue their Club World Cup campaign with a quarter-final tie against <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/do-his-job-estevao-willian-message-palmeiras-boss-club-world-cup-showdown-chelsea/bltdba125b9426d74a1" target="_blank">Estevao's Palmeiras in the early hours of Friday morning</a>.</p>
