Fabrizio Romano, the ever-reliable transfer guru, has shed light on Arsenal’s internal discussions regarding a potential swoop for Chelsea’s rising star, Noni Madueke. The Gunners, who have been unusually quiet in the summer transfer window, are now reportedly eyeing the England international as a possible solution to their attacking woes.
Arsenal’s Summer Signings: What’s the Hold-Up?
Despite whispers of deals being finalized for Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Christian Norgaard, Arsenal fans are still waiting for official announcements. While these signings are expected to bolster the squad, the North London club is under pressure to secure a striker and a winger — two positions deemed critical for their ambitions next season.
Striker Search: Gyokeres and Sesko Lead the Race
Arsenal’s hunt for a new striker has narrowed down to two names: Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko. However, the pursuit of a winger seems more fluid, with the likes of Rodrygo Goes and Nico Williams being linked. But could Noni Madueke emerge as a more pragmatic option?
Madueke on Arsenal’s Radar: What’s the Latest?
Reports suggest that Arsenal have “turned to” Madueke as a potential target. However, Romano has clarified the Gunners’ current stance. “It’s still an open story for this summer,” he revealed on his YouTube channel. “Noni Madueke remains an important player for Chelsea, part of Enzo Maresca’s rotation. But let’s see what happens in terms of proposals.”
Romano also confirmed that Arsenal have not yet submitted an official bid for Madueke. “He’s not the only name on their list,” he added. “They also appreciate Anthony Gordon at Newcastle. There are several candidates for the winger position.”
Mosquera Deal Gathers Momentum
While the winger conundrum remains unresolved, Arsenal are making progress in their pursuit of Valencia’s Cristhian Mosquera. The young centre-back has reportedly given Arsenal the green light, with personal terms not expected to be an issue. “Arsenal are hopeful to close this deal for around €20-25m,” Romano stated. “They remain the clear favourites.”
What’s Next for Arsenal?
As the summer transfer window heats up, all eyes are on Arsenal’s next moves. Will they secure Madueke, or will they opt for a different winger? One thing is certain: Mikel Arteta and his team are working tirelessly to assemble a squad capable of challenging for major honours.
