Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Arsenal and Chelsea have agreed on a £52m fee for Noni Madueke. Arteta was keen on the winger, who was also desperate to join the north London club. Madueke had agreed to join Arsenal in the prior days, but Arsenal and Chelsea had different valuations of the player.

It would be an understatement to say that the reaction to Arsenal pursuing a deal for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke has not been positive among supporters. A ‘#NoToMadueke’ hashtag, and even a petition, have surfaced on social media as Arsenal fans voice their scepticism about a potential deal worth in the region of £52million.
