Arsenal have completed the signing of England international Noni Madueke from Chelsea on a long-term contract, the club announced on Friday.
The 23-year-old winger, who hails from north London, joins Mikel Arteta’s side as the Gunners continue to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
Madueke began his youth career at Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur before making his name at Dutch side PSV Eindhoven. He joined Chelsea in January 2023, going on to make 92 appearances for the Blues. He also has seven senior caps for England, having debuted in September last year.
In a statement on Arsenal’s official website, Sporting Director Andrea Berta praised the signing:
“We’re very pleased to have concluded an excellent deal for a hugely talented young player in Noni Madueke.
Noni is a dynamic, versatile wide forward with strong technical ability who will significantly strengthen our squad.
He already has valuable experience at the top level, and we know he will make a big impact at Arsenal.”
Manager Mikel Arteta also expressed excitement about the club’s latest acquisition:
“We’re all so happy to welcome Noni Madueke to the team.
He is one of the most talented wide forwards in the Premier League.
At just 23, he brings both club and international experience, and his arrival will really improve our squad.”
Madueke will wear the No. 20 shirt and is expected to join the Arsenal squad in early August following the conclusion of the FIFA Club World Cup.
The club noted that the transfer is subject to regulatory approval.
