Arsenal will be hoping for two favours from Chelsea as they look to take the next few steps in their summer transfer window plan. The Gunners have already splashed the cash on two new signings, and they are in the market for further acquisitions.

Arsenal additionally remain linked with Eberechi Eze, although it could be a case of one or the other between the Crystal Palace star and Madueke. Eze has a £60 million ($81.5 million) release clause that Palace would be willing to accept in three split payments, but Bayern Munich pose a rival threat.

Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Chelsea’s Noni Madueke and are weighing up a move for the £50 million-rated forward, but Micah Richards has signalled concerns over where he would fit in the team.

Newcastle's interest in Ollie Watkins might now force Arsenal to push through a quick deal for Viktor Gyokeres.

A recent report from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has suggested that Arsenal will be reaching out to Chelsea to sign Madueke, and with a 'gap in valuation' between the Premier League giants, negotiations are also anticipated to follow to finalize the deal.

Arsenal have made formal contact with Chelsea over signing winger Noni Madueke. BBC Sport reported that the Gunners had already agreed personal terms with Madueke last week ahead of any potential move,

Once that figure came to light, many supporters began to worry that Arsenal are eyeing a move for Madueke instead of Eze, because both players can play out wide. Romano has now eased those fears by revealing that the Madueke deal is not related to Arsenal’s interest in Eze — the Gunners remain keen on the Crystal Palace star.
