OFFICIAL: Announcement in the coming hours as Arsenal Highjacked Real Madrid top summer transfer target to land the most skillful attacker in Europe,HERE WE GO CONFIRMED
Arsenal have been very busy on the transfer front in the past few days and more signings are expected soon.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard have joined Arsenal this summer as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his ranks.
In addition, Arsenal are still in talks over Viktor Gyokeres, who is desperate to seal a move to the Emirates Stadium.
Now, the Gunners have been tipped to complete another signing imminently, with the player’s manager saying he expects him to leave “in the next hours”.
Enzo Maresca confirms Arsenal target Noni Madueke is leaving Chelsea
Arsenal struck a deal for Noni Madueke this week, with Arteta finally bringing in his first attacking reinforcement of the summer.
The Gunners have agreed a deal “in excess of £50million with add-ons included” for the England winger, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Chelsea are set to take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final on Sunday, and Enzo Maresca touched upon Madueke’s future in his pre-match presser.
“Noni is in contact with a new club, and I guess that he’s going to leave in the next hours,” Maresca told football.london, when asked about the links between Madueke and Arsenal.
When asked why he had sold Madueke to a direct rival in Arsenal, Maresca suggested that there was not much he or Chelsea could do.
“I said in one of the last press conferences that if players want to leave, at the end, it’s difficult for the club and for the manager,” said Maresca.
“Noni decided to leave, nobody told Noni he had to leave. If he is happy, we are happy.”
The current situation with Arsenal’s other key targets
Madueke, who has been described as “really dynamic”, “exciting” and “box office”, is not expected to be the last big signing at Arsenal this summer.
Arsenal are also currently in contact with Eberechi Eze and his agents, with the player seemingly very keen on a move to the Emirates Stadium.
However, it remains to be seen what happens with Viktor Gyokeres amid reports suggesting that talks between Arsenal and Sporting CP are stalling.
