According to Sky German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Arsenal has reportedly submitted an offer to Chelsea right-wing Noni Madueke.
Plettenberg posted his official account on X’s official account, and he said the Gunners have begun signing talks for Madueke, although it seems that other offensive plans are still being considered.
Plettenberg’s post mentioned Arsenal’s interest in Real Madrid striker Rodrygo, while Crystal Palace attacks midfielder Eberechi Eze is also linked to the North London Giants.
As Arsenal also hopes to sign Christian Norgaard (Cristhian Mosquera) progress, suddenly, the Gunners’ transfer window seems to have poured into life.

Madueke is an interesting goal for Arsenal, as he doesn’t necessarily look like other goals like Rodrygo or Eze.
The two can play on the left side of Mikel Arteta, while Madueke plays mainly on the right side of Chelsea, although he will certainly play with Bukayo Saka regularly at Emirates Stadium and Bukayo Saka.
But maybe the 23-year-old won’t end up being Arsenal’s top target, they’re just evaluating some different options.
Either, Arteta can try Madueke’s role differently, or even try new positions next season.
Should Chelsea let Nori Maduk go?
Chelsea has been a bit of a mess lately, so it seems unwise to uninstall Madueke soon.
The England international is still very young, and it can be said in fact, just as his future is questioned.
With Estevao William going to join, the Blues have many other options when it comes to attack, but most fans certainly want to see their confidence in Madueke for a longer time.
It might be particularly risky to have Madueke join competitors like Arsenal, as Chelsea should know from experience that this experience may come back to bother you as Kevin de Bruyne and Mohamed Salah end up appearing.
