England international has already agreed five-year deal
Chelsea must generate revenue after breaching FFP rules
Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign Noni Madueke from Chelsea for £52m.
The England winger has already agreed terms on a five-year deal and is likely to complete a move to the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal, who are also expected to ramp up their pursuit of Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze, have been looking to add more depth on the flanks and have acted quickly after identifying Madueke as a key target.
The 23-year-old’s appeal lies in his ability to provide cover for Bukayo Saka on the right and offer an option for Mikel Arteta on the left. Madueke has decided to seek a new challenge with his hopes of regular football at Chelsea limited by them adding Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, Estêvão and João Pedro to their attack this summer. Geovany Quenda is due to join from Sporting Lisbon next year.
