Chelsea attacking midfielder Noni Madueke is expected to undergo medicals with Arsenal on Saturday ahead of a move to join London rivals Arsenal.
Madueke is expected to complete a $67.5m transfer to the Gunners.
Chelsea are set to play Paris St Germain in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday, but Madueke who two starts for the Blues will not be part of the clash.
ESPN reports that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants Madueke a right winger to boost his attacking options as he hopes to have him on the left, while Bukayo Saka operates from the right.
Madueke, who joined Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven in 2023 in a $40.9m deal, made 46 appearances for Chelsea last season. He scored 11 goals and registered five assists in all competitions, and started in their win over Real Betis in the Conference League final.
