Arsenal’s transfer business continues at pace this summer as Noni Madueke has now officially signed a long-term contract with the club, keeping him at the Emirates Stadium until 2030. The dynamic winger becomes one of Mikel Arteta’s headline signings of the window, with only the official announcement left to mark his arrival.
Madueke’s move from Chelsea to Arsenal has unfolded rapidly in recent days. Once personal terms were agreed earlier in the week, both clubs moved quickly to finalise the structure of the deal. Now, with the contract signed and sealed, Madueke is set to become the latest addition in Arsenal’s exciting new era under Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta.
The 22-year-old winger has agreed a five-year deal with the Gunners, a clear indication of the long-term faith the club is placing in his potential. Known for his flair, agility, and ability to take on defenders one-on-one, Madueke brings a different dimension to Arsenal’s wide options — and Arteta reportedly played a key role in convincing the player of the club’s vision for the future.
The transfer fee for Madueke is understood to be in the region of £52 million, including add-ons. While the figure raised some eyebrows initially, Arsenal believe they are getting a player whose best years are still to come and who fits perfectly into the system Arteta is building. With the ability to play on either flank, Madueke’s versatility also adds tactical flexibility, especially as the Gunners prepare for a demanding season competing on multiple fronts.
Having come through the youth system at Crystal Palace before making a name for himself at PSV Eindhoven, Madueke joined Chelsea in January 2023 but struggled to establish himself consistently in a turbulent period for the club. Despite flashes of brilliance, the winger’s game time was limited — and it’s understood he was keen for a fresh start where he would be more central to a club’s project.
At Arsenal, he will be given a clearer role in a structured system and the support to rediscover the form that made him such a highly rated talent in the Eredivisie. His direct style, quick feet, and fearlessness in the final third are attributes that could prove invaluable as Arteta looks to bolster his attacking options.
The official announcement is expected within the next 24 to 48 hours, with media duties and unveiling content already in motion. Madueke is currently in London and is expected to join up with his new teammates following the conclusion of final logistics.
For Arsenal fans, the capture of Madueke is another sign of intent from a club determined to compete at the very top of the Premier League and in Europe. With the winger now tied down until 2030, the Gunners have secured one of England’s brightest young attacking talents — and the Emirates is ready to welcome its latest star.
