Arsenal needs to strengthen their attacking options, and Madueke could be the perfect addition to their team. Both clubs share the goal of competing for the title next season. If a deal is agreed, it will be the first time a significant player from the Maresca era is sold rather than bought, which will help the club comply with financial rules.

Chelsea's sporting director, Andrea Berta, is also exploring other options to bolster their attack. The club is interested in signing Real Madrid's Rodrygo, AC Milan's Rafael Leao, and Newcastle's Anthony Gordon. Madueke has made 16 goal contributions this season and could compete with Gabriel Martinelli for his role in an Arsenal side that has struggled to win major silverware in recent years.

The relationship between the two clubs is strong when it comes to transfers. In the past, Arsenal has borrowed winger Raheem Sterling from Chelsea, and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is joining the Blues this summer. Madueke is currently participating in the Club World Cup in the United States, making it unlikely for a deal to happen anytime soon. Chelsea is focused on winning another trophy after lifting the Conference League.
