Madueke will now sign a five-year deal to become the sixth player to swap Stamford Bridge for the Emirates during Mikel Arteta’s reign in north London. The 23-year-old will become Arsenal’s fourth signing of the summer transfer window. Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard and Martin Zubimendi already sealing their moves.

Mikel Arteta looks set to bolster his squad further this summer with the addition of winger Noni Madueke from across London in a £52million deal from rivals Chelsea

Twomey: The success of Chelsea’s recruitment model depends just as much on their ability to sell profitably as it does on buying intelligently. Every player who is not absolutely integral to the team Maresca is building has a price, and Madueke has never managed to make himself indispensable at Stamford Bridge.
