Chelsea winger Noni Madueke has reportedly agreed personal terms with Arsenal ahead of a potential switch to the Gunners.
The 23-year-old had been an integral part of Maresca’s squad over the last campaign, making 41 appearances across all competitions for the Blues.
He was a second-half substitute in their 2-1 win over Palmeiras in the Club World Cup quarter-final on Friday.
According to The Athletic, Madueke has given the green light to join Arsenal, but talks between the two clubs are yet to take place.
Chelsea and Arsenal are said to have good relations, with the two clubs having already done business this summer after Kepa Arrizabalaga’s £5million move to north London this week.
Mikel Arteta’s side are keen to strengthen their attack this summer and Madueke would add depth to both flanks.
Chelsea boss Maresca seemingly left the door open for the England international to depart after being questioned on the player’s future after their win over Palmeras.
He said: ‘Noni has been very important for us. But my message to the players and to the club is that I want just players that are happy to be with us.
‘The ones that are not happy, they are free to go. Noni has been very good during the season’.
