Noni Madueke is on his way to Arsenal from Chelsea.
The Englishman emerged as a surprise target for the Gunners a few weeks ago, and that deal has accelerated in recent days.
Arsenal and Chelsea have reached an agreement for Madueke, and all that’s left is for a medical to take place in North London.
That is expected to happen very soon.
Noni Madueke has a reason to be angry with Mikel Arteta and Arsenal
Noni Madueke must be delighted about joining Arsenal.
The Englishman is moving to a much superior club. Even though he will not be a regular starter, his chances of progression will be a lot higher at the Emirates.
Madueke agreed personal terms with Arsenal before the two clubs even sat down to discuss a fee. Even Enzo Maresca has revealed that it was the player who wanted the move.
A deal has now been agreed between the clubs, and Madueke is on his way to London to complete his transfer to Arsenal.
Everything is going to plan, but Madueke has one reason to be upset.
Chelsea wanted Madueke to stay for the Club World Cup final, and the game on Sunday would’ve given him the opportunity to win a big trophy as well.
Arsenal, unsurprisingly, weren’t going to risk an injury, so Madueke will not take part in Chelsea’s big clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
Noni Madueke’s chances of winning trophies at Arsenal
Arsenal have come very close to winning the Premier League title in each of the last three seasons, and they were one step away from lifting the Champions League as well last term.
Injuries, the absence of a striker, and a lack of depth are the reasons why they fell short, but Andrea Berta is working to solve all of those issues.
Arsenal already have better depth in attack thanks to Madueke, while work is going on behind the scenes to sign Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze.
That solves all of the issues that the Gunners have faced, so Madueke and his new club have a very high chance of winning a big trophy this season.
