As the summer transfer window heats up, Arsenal are casting a wider net in their quest to strengthen their squad—and one name now on their radar is Chelsea winger Noni Madueke.
Chelsea Shake-Up Could Open the Door
Madueke, the 23-year-old England international, may be facing a reduced role at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea undergo a squad overhaul under new boss Enzo Maresca.
With the club eyeing a flurry of signings this summer, several players—including Madueke—are expected to find themselves slipping down the pecking order.
Despite being a regular feature last season with 41 appearances across all competitions, Madueke’s future is now uncertain.
He even featured in Chelsea’s recent 2-0 victory over Los Angeles FC in their first Club World Cup fixture in Atlanta—but that might not be enough to secure his spot moving forward.
Chelsea Busy in the Market
Chelsea haven’t wasted any time making moves.
Earlier this month, they snapped up Liam Delap from Ipswich Town, activating his release clause in a £30 million deal.
They’ve also signed Mamadou Sarr from Strasbourg and Daria Essugo from Sporting Lisbon—signaling a clear intent to rebuild and refresh their squad.
These incoming players are likely to shake up squad dynamics, and Madueke could be one of the casualties, with multiple clubs now keeping close tabs on his situation.
Arsenal Eyeing Wing Reinforcements
Arsenal, on the other hand, are actively looking to strengthen their front line.
With big names like Benjamin Sesko and Alexander Isak linked to the Gunners, it’s clear that Mikel Arteta is eager to inject more attacking firepower into the squad.
The North London side had also shown interest in Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, but it seems that chase may be over.
Williams is reportedly close to finalizing a move to Barcelona after agreeing personal terms with the Catalan giants.
Madueke Could Be a Smart Addition
With Williams likely off the table, Arsenal are considering other dynamic wide options—and Madueke’s name has now entered the frame.
His age, Premier League experience, and attacking flair make him a promising prospect for a team looking to challenge for the title.
Whether Chelsea would be open to selling to a direct rival remains to be seen, but with their own transfer plans well underway, the Gunners may just sense an opportunity.
