Arsenal wants to strengthen their creative and attacking options this summer, with movements for both Chelsea wing player Noni Madueke and Crystal Palace -Midfender Ebereechi Eze on the maps
Noni Madueke is said to be open to the idea of joining Arsenal in the midst of news, the Gunners have started conversations with Chelsea about a possible transfer. The 23-year-old winger, who came to the PSV blues in January 2023 for £ 28 million, had something of a mixed enchantment in West London.
Sometimes he has stunned the supporters of Stamford Bridge, but he is equally frustrating in other games. Although Madueke is supposed to be satisfied with Chelsea, he is apparently open to the prospect of making the switch over the capital if the two clubs reach an agreement this summer.
Arsenal is said to have stayed in regular contact with the representatives of the player of the English player, and although nothing has been concrete about their interest, reports from Europe claim that they are considering a formal offer in the coming weeks.
Chelsea does not want to actively sell Madueke, but can be seduced by an offer in the £ 50 million region. The recent arrival of Joao Pedro from Brighton, the upcoming signing of Borussia Dortmund-Vleugel player Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, and the approaching addition of the Brazilian Starlet Estevao Willian-Hebben signed last year from Palmeiras-Hebben considerably strengthens the attack options of the club.
Given the increased competition for places, a substantial offer for Madueke for Chelsea can be difficult to reject – especially if the player starts to fear limited opportunities for regular playing time next season. As a result, Arsenal keeps a close eye on developments, although their interest in Madueke is not expected to influence their continuous striving for ebereechi.
The side of Mikel Arteta has made the Crystal Palace star one of their top goals this summer. With considerable funds that are also needed to secure a new center ahead, Arsenal is not yet able to go to a movement for Eze.
Palace is reluctant to sell, but they would be powerless to prevent a departure if the release clause of £ 68 million of Eze is activated. The clause stipulates that the reimbursement must be paid in three installments: a third in advance, a third in the summer of 2026 and the last payment in 2027.
There have been suggestions that Arsenal is investigating ways to structure the deal more flexibly or by expanding the payment conditions or proposing a player-plus-cash scheme to lower the total costs. Palace, however, retains and shows little appetite to deviate from the strict conditions of the Eze release clause.
Eze, 27, is considered open to the move. An Arsenal fan of a boy who spent time in the club's academy, the midfielder would not only bring technical quality in the last third but also valuable positional versatility.
He has presented on both flanks, as number 10, and in the central midfield during his career and also becomes an increasing target threat, which scored 15 times for Club and Land last season.
Madueke offers similar dynamic skills. The London born in London has operated on both the right and left flanks under Enzo Maresca in Chelsea and has included a career-best 11 goals in all competitions in 2024/25.
With both Madueke and Eze who offer versatility, flair attacks and untouched potential, the importance of Arsenal indicates a clear intention to renew and diversify their forward line for the new season.
While financial limitations and negotiations on obstacles remain, the Gunners position themselves to make decisive when the opportunity arises – which sets up for a few weeks in shaping the evolving team of Arteta.
