Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Noni Madueke to Arsenal is now “we go here”, which means it is actually a completed deal.
Romano said the Chelsea winger is expected to complete the Gunners’ relocation at more than £50m, while the track and field David Ornstein’s figure totaled £52m.
Madueke has had close ties with Arsenal in recent days and it seems like it is fast, with England International agreeing to the terms of the five-year contract for the Emirates Stadium.

NONI MADUEKE transfer fee looks expensive
Surprisingly, Arsenal seems to have put in a lot of effort for players like Madueke, who didn’t really make the world at Chelsea or even start automatically.
The 23-year-old has a lot of potential and is so young that he can still get better, but Arsenal really agrees to pay so much for a promising player, is he likely just providing cover for Bukayo Saka?
It is important to note that Romano said the fee including £50 million is attached, so it is unclear exactly how much it will be paid.
In theory, the AFC may have to pay £3.5-400 million in advance, although it is not clear what the terms of these add-ons are, so satisfying them may not be realistic.
Madueke becomes Arsenal’s fourth summer signing
Arsenal has been busy in the summer and has added three new faces.
Kepa Arrizabalaga is the first to join, with the goalkeeper moving from Chelsea after loan at Bournemouth last season.
Next comes Martin Zubimendi, Spanish International joining from Real Sociedad, looking like the ideal replacement for the resigned Jorginho.
Finally, Christian Norgaard’s move to Arsenal officially announced yesterday that Denmark International’s joining from Brentford looks like a wise signing to replace outgoing Thomas Party.
