Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Chelsea’s Noni Madueke (h/t The Athletic’s David Ornstein).
The Gunners have not started negotiations with Chelsea, but could make a move soon for the 23-year-old.
The two clubs enjoy good relations, having already done business this summer with goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga leaving Chelsea to join Arsenal.
Arsenal have been looking to sign a back-up for Bukayo Saka and believe Madueke is a good fit.
The England international was a key member of Enzo Maresa’s team last season, scoring 11 goals in 41 games across all competitions.
Madueke joined Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023. He has bagged 20 goals and nine assists in 91 appearances for the club.
The forward is contracted until 2030, but Chelsea are open to selling him for €58m.
Chelsea are under pressure to make sales after UEFA fined them €31 million and a further €60m conditionally for breaching its financial rules.
The London club will not be allowed to register new signings in European competitions unless they can demonstrate they have generated a cost saving from the sale of players against acquisitions (the Guardian).
They are also open to offers for Christopher Nkunku, Joao Felix and Raheem Sterling this summer.
Manchester United have expressed interest in Nkunku, but Chelsea could struggle to offload Felix and Sterling due to their struggles last season.
