Arsenal have held a new round of talks for Noni Madueke, with the Chelsea winger open to joining the club, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Gunners are in the market for new forwards in the summer transfer window, with Madueke one of their targets. The former PSV Eindhoven star is naturally a right-sided attacker, meaning he would likely arrive to provide competition for Bukayo Saka if he was to sign on the dotted line at the Emirates Stadium.
Adding a left winger might seem more of a priority considering Saka's importance to the side, with the academy graduate likely a guaranteed starter for Mikel Arteta. We've also seen the north London outfit linked with a host of striker options, so it could be a busy window as they aim to build on a second-place finish in the Premier League.

Madueke played a crucial role in helping Chelsea win the Europa Conference League last season, while he also contributed to their efforts to qualify for Champions League football. It will be interesting to see whether Chelsea are willing to sell to not only a London rival, but also a side who regularly competes for the top four with them.
The 23-year-old will have to consider whether he's going to get a similar amount of game time at Arsenal, especially when he's going to be competing with a player as good as Saka.
