From Chelsea’s point of view, this move is little debatable. They do not want to sell him as of now. The Blues feel that Noni provides the team with options from the bench. Also, he can do a good job in rotation matches. However, if an offer too good to resist comes, Chelsea would sell him. Many reporters tell us that, Chelsea expect £40-50 million for this deal. They feel this is the right value for their player. Also, selling a good player to a rival club would increase the price of the deal and the structure.

Chelsea will get money for new signings. Arsenal will get a player they believe will fit in Arteta’s system. Madueke will get playing time which he wants at this point in his career.
However, the move is not easy. Chelsea would ask for more money if they will sell their player to a rival club. It would be interesting to see how this deal evolves. Will Madueke continue to play for Chelsea? Does Arsenal sign him from Chelsea soon?
