Arsenal have completed the signing of Noni Madueke from London rivals Chelsea, the club has confirmed. Sources have told ESPN that Arsenal agreed a fee of £48 million ($64.6m) plus £4m in add-ons for the 23-year-old, who joins on a five-year contract. Chelsea signed Madueke from PSV Eindhoven in 2023 for £30m.

The idea of a player crossing the divide and joining a bitter rival can seem almost like sacrilege for fans. With Noni Madueke becoming the latest to move from Stamford Bridge to the Emirates, it continues a recent trend of transfers between Arsenal and Chelsea.

LONDON — Arsenal's transfer spree continued with the signing of England forward Noni Madueke from Chelsea on Friday. He is Arsenal’s fourth signing of the offseason after midfielders Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgard and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
