Chukwunonso ‘Noni’ Madueke is on the verge of leaving London giants, Chelsea and joining Newcastle United.
Noni Madueke arrived at Chelsea in a permanent move from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in January 2023.
After a slow start in West London, Madueke showed glimpses of his best qualities last season, scoring six goals and providing two assists in 29 appearances.
However, the 23-year-old winger would have craved more time on the pitch as he only started 17 of those games, playing second fiddle to Cole Palmer.
It is an arrangement that will not likely change even under new manager Enzo Maresca, with Palmer almost guaranteed a starting shirt for the Blues.
According to Football Insider, Madueke has chosen the exit door and has agreed to a deal with Newcastle United where he will look to thrive under the management of Eddie Howe.
Madueke is currently with Chelsea on their pre-season tour of the USA and featured in their 2-2 draw with Wrexham on Thursday, July 25.
Newcastle are expected to at least match the £29 million (₦59.6 billion) that Chelsea paid Dutch giants PSV to acquire his services last year.
