DEAL AGREED: Arsenal agree deal to sign Top Premier League winger is currently on the same level or even better than Bukayo Saka
Arsenal are eyeing a surprise move to sign Chelsea winger Noni Madueke this summer, according to The Telegraph.
The Blues forward is on the radar of a number Premier League clubs during the current transfer window, with the Gunners making initial checks on the England international.
Arsenal Keen on Madueke
The Gunners have made checks on many wingers
The Telegraph reports that Arsenal have looked into a deal for the 23-year-old, who moved to Stamford Bridge in a £30m deal from PSV Eindhoven two years ago.
A number of English clubs are looking to strengthen in wide areas before next season and according to the report, Madueke is an attractive proposition due to his ability to play on either flank.
Chelsea haven’t received an approach for the ‘lightning-fast’ forward from the Gunners yet, nor have they held talks with their London neighbours over a potential deal.
Unclear if Arsenal Will Follow Up Interest
Madueke hasn’t been put up for sale
Despite initial interest, there is no guarantee that Arsenal will launch any offer for Madueke as they consider many different forward options to boost Mikel Arteta’s squad ahead of next season.
The report adds that Chelsea haven’t put the Englishman up for sale, nor have they offered him to potential suitors during the current summer transfer window.
Madueke has scored 20 goals and provided nine assists in 88 appearances for the Blues, with 16 of those goal involvements coming last term.
Newcastle United and Tottenham are two more clubs mentioned as being on the hunt for a right-sided winger this summer, with Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo expected to join Manchester United.
Arsenal have also been linked with Nico Williams, but he is expected to join Barcelona instead.
