Chelsea Manager Sends Clear Message on Noni Madueke Amid Arsenal Interest

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has commented on winger Noni Madueke’s future with the club. Maresca says he only wants players who are happy at Chelsea to stay. His comments come as Arsenal continue their pursuit of the English winger during the summer transfer window.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Enzo Maresca spoke about Noni Madueke amid reports that Arsenal have intensified their interest in signing the 23-year-old winger. Maresca praised Madueke’s contributions this season and stated that while the player has been important for the club, only those happy at Chelsea will remain. This comes as Arsenal continue their push to sign the English winger during the summer transfer window.

According to a previous report, Noni Madueke made 31 league appearances, scored seven goals, and provided six assists for Chelsea last season.

ARSENAL STEP UP CHASE FOR MADUEKE

Arsenal have reportedly held fresh talks to sign Madueke, and it is believed he is open to moving to the Emirates Stadium. Madueke joined Chelsea for £30 million and played a key role last season, providing versatility and creativity on both wings. With Arsenal seeking to strengthen their wide areas after relying heavily on Gabriel Martinelli, signing Madueke is considered a strategic move. Chelsea, meanwhile, are also short of attacking depth, so letting Madueke go would come as a surprise to some observers. Arsenal are talking with Noni Madueke’s team about signing him.

Additionally, Noni Madueke is open to a move to Arsenal, and Chelsea are not desperate to sell him but could sell him for over £45 million.

WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA AND ARSENAL?

Chelsea finished fourth in the Premier League last season, narrowly missing out on Champions League qualification. Arsenal, who finished second, are looking to bolster their attacking options as they prepare for a demanding campaign domestically and in Europe. Both clubs will be watching the situation closely, and a decision on Madueke’s future is expected soon as transfer discussions continue. Chelsea’s next match is a pre-season friendly against Borussia Dortmund, while Arsenal’s Premier League opener is against Manchester United.
