Despite being one of Chelsea’s top performers this season, Noni Madueke’s future has come into doubt.
At Chelsea, only Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson have scored more goals in the Premier League than Madueke, showing how influential the winger has been for his side.

Even so, Madueke is still being linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge ahead of the summer transfer window.

Noni Madueke happy to remain at Chelsea
Chelsea want to sign a new winger, while Estevao Willian is set to arrive at the club in the summer.
Madueke does not seem too bothered, though, with it believed that the 23-year-old is not looking for a move away from west London.
Journalist Simon Phillips has claimed on Si Phillips Talks Chelsea that Madueke is happy to continue at Stamford Bridge.
If the Englishman changes his mind, though, and wants a change of scenery, then he will have options.

According to Phillips, Tottenham, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are all thinking about making an approach for Madueke.
Chelsea did business with Villa during the January transfer window, allowing Axel Disasi to join Unai Emery’s side on loan.
Villa want to keep hold of Disasi, and it will now be interesting to see whether they try to sign Madueke as well.

What Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali predicted about Noni Madueke
Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali had high hopes for Madueke when the club signed him from PSV Eindhoven in 2023.
When Boehly and Eghbali spoke about Madueke following his arrival to SW6, they said: “We’re delighted to bring Noni to Chelsea. He’s an exciting talent who has proven his quality over the past few years with PSV, playing in a strong European league, and we are thrilled he has chosen to join Chelsea for this next stage of his career. We are sure he will form an important part of our team.”
Madueke is starting to live up to expectations, so it would be a bit disappointing if the club sold him this summer.
Still only 23 years of age, the England international has a lot of potential and time to fulfil it. Hopefully that happens at Stamford Bridge, but you cannot rule anything out at this point.
