Despite these concerns, Arsenal is moving forward with the deal. Chelsea has agreed to allow Madueke to leave the Club World Cup camp, and he will undergo a medical examination before completing his transfer to Arsenal.
Madueke, a 23-year-old England international, has played 92 times for Chelsea since joining the club from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023. He has scored 20 goals and will join a strong Arsenal squad under manager Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal already has a talented group of players, including Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and Ethan Nwaneri. However, some fans feel that the team needs a striker, and the transfer of Madueke may be a concern ahead of the new season.
The negotiations between Arsenal and Chelsea reportedly involved a small difference in price, which was spent on Madueke. This move may raise questions about the team's priorities and strategy for the upcoming season.
