Madueke to Arsenal is a strange one; 50m+ for a squad player? It's also confusing from the player's perspective; it's a World Cup year, and he will likely be spending the majority of the season on the bench.

Chelsea need to make player sales in order to comply with Uefa's rules on player trading.
Last week, the Blues were fined by Uefa due to a breach of Uefa's financial rules but have recently made big-money moves to sign Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens from Brighton and Borussia Dortmund respectively.
In terms of wingers, Chelsea have Pedro Neto, Gittens and teenager Estevao at their disposal, while Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro and Christopher Nkunku could all play out wide. Tyrique George is also coming through the Blues' academy and has been regularly used by Enzo Maresca in recent season.
The money Arsenal are offering to purchase Madueke for makes it a financially good option for Chelsea to sell given the competition out wide now with the signings Chelsea have made, plus the players returning to the club from loan spells.

His signing would, therefore, ease the burden Bukayo Saka, who has perhaps been overworked in recent seasons. Saka started 108 of 114 league matches from 2021-22 to 23-24 but missed three months of the most recent campaign with a hamstring injury. Like Saka, when Madueke features on the right wing he looks to cut inside and shoot with his favoured left foot.
Madueke actually ended last season playing on the left for Chelsea, with head coach Enzo Maresca altering his approach during the run-in.
The former PSV Eindhoven man started four of the Blues' final five Premier League matches on that flank, plus the Conference League final. He also began on the left in England's win against Andorra in June, when he was one of the Three Lions' better performers, setting up Harry Kane's winner.
So in addition to cover for Saka on the right, Madueke could provide competition for both Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard on the opposite wing, where he would offer a slightly more direct threat.
In the most recent Premier League season, Madueke attempted more shots and dribbles per 90 minutes than both Martinelli and Trossard and carried the ball significantly further.

Before Nottingham Forest's second signing of the summer, we were talking about Noni Madueke and the latest on his potential move to Arsenal.
According to reports, the England winger has been given permission to leave Chelsea's camp at the Club World Cup in the United States and return to the UK to undergo a medical with the Gunners.
Questions have been asked about what Madueke's role would be in the Arsenal side.
Let's assess what his playing stats suggest...
Image source, Getty ImagesJair Cunha is Nottingham Forest's second signing of the summer and the second from Brazilian side Botafogo.
The club have also brought in Botafogo's Brazilian striker Igor Jesus on a four-year deal for a reported £10m fee.
Image source, Getty ImagesJair Cunha, 20, scored for Botafogo against MLS side Seattle Sounders as they made it through the group stages of the Club World Cup, beating European champions Paris St-Germain as they made it out of the group stages.
Botafogo eventually lost to fellow Brazilian side Palmeiras 1-0 after extra time in the last 16.
Jsair Cunha started his career at Santos as a 10 year old, working his way up through their youth ranks before finally breaking into their first team, for whom he made 24 senior appearances.
The 6ft 6in central defender has eight caps for Brazil's U20s, helping them to the U20 South America Championship crown earlier this year.
Jair Cunha played eight of their nine matches at the tournament, leading them to three clean sheets on their way to the title.
Image source, Getty ImagesNottingham Forest’s chief football officer, Ross Wilson, said that new signing Jair Cunha had "flourished" during his time playing in Brazil.
"Jair is a young talent who has shown quality during his time in Brazil, and we are happy to have secured his signature," Wilson told the club website.
“Jair has flourished in Brazil and now has new ambitions as he moves to the Premier League."
Moving swiftly on to a bit of breaking news.
Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of Brazil U20s defender Jair Cunha from Botafogo.
The 20-year-old, who featured for Botafogo at the Club World Cup, has signed a five-year deal at the City Ground.
Cunha leaves after making 22 appearances for Botafogo since joining them from Santos in February.
Image source, Getty ImagesAthletic reporter David Ornstein, external says that Noni Madueke has been given permission by Chelsea to leave the club's camp in the United States, where they are preparing to face Paris St-Germain in the Club World Cup final on Sunday.
Madueke is now due to return to England to undergo a medical before completing his move to Arsenal.
Ornstein added that the England winger will sign a five-year deal at Emirates Stadium.

One of this morning's key headlines surrounded Arsenal's pursuit of Chelsea winger Noni Madueke.
The two clubs are close to agreeing a deal worth in the region of £50m.
Let's check out the latest reports on how that deal is progressing...
If you are just joining us, here is a recap of today's latest transfer news from the Premier League:

I wonder if Nuno [Espirito Santo] is regretting that new contract? The best talent sold off and guess who will get the chop when results inevitably dip? Talk about a hiding for nothing.

Image source, Getty ImagesAs well as his goal contributions, one key factor that will no doubt have piqued Tottenham's interest in Morgan Gibbs-White is his recent injury record.
Spurs suffered a disastrous run of injuries last season, a fact then manager Ange Postecoglou consistently cited as a mitigating factor for their poor results in the Premier League.
Gibbs-White, however, has not missed a game through injury since January 2021, according to Transfermarkt.
Since the start of the 2022-23 season, Gibbs-White has played in 108 out of a possible 114 Premier League matches.
New Spurs boss Thomas Frank, meanwhile, inherits a squad of players of which none started more than 28 Premier League matches last season.

Adam, London: To look at it from another angle, Rob, Levy has again spent big on two players unproven at the highest level (e.g. Champions League/top 4) in the hope of reaching the highest level. He's used this transfer strategy before (e.g. Richarlison, Madison, Solanke), and it's not exactly propelled them up the league!

Image source, Getty ImagesMorgan Gibbs-White's career has significantly kicked on since spending the 2021-22 season in the Championship at Sheffield United, on loan from Wolves.
Gibbs-White scored 12 times in 37 appearances for the Blades and helped them reach the play-offs, where they were beaten in the semi-finals.
The England midfielder then joined Forest - the side that beat Sheffield United in the play-offs - and across the last three seasons has played 108 out of a possible 114 Premier League matches for the club.
After winning the 2023 Under-21s European Championships with England, Gibbs-White got his Three Lions chance at senior level, both under interim boss Lee Carsley and now current head coach Thomas Tuchel.
He has four England caps to his name and given the two caps he has won for the Three Lions under Tuchel, is in a good position to win a place in next year's World Cup squad, should England qualify.

Forget Gibbs-White. Step forward Elliot Anderson.

Image source, Getty ImagesMax T: A completely disastrous double blow. Gibbs-White leaving rips the heart out of our team. He brings captain energy and drive. The reveal of a £60m release clause no fan was aware of has been tough to stomach and shines more light on the promotion deal we struck. It is almost impossible to replace two players like this in two windows. Not the European dawn I imagined.
Steven: What on earth are Forest thinking? First Anthony Elanga [close to £55m move to Newcastle], now Gibbs-White. Who in their right mind thinks selling these players makes Forest better? If this is confirmed, I'm done with Forest.
Max: It feels like this is the beginning of the end. Losing Elanga, and now losing Gibbs-White. I hope I am wrong, but I think we could be back in the Championship in a few years. We can't sell our biggest stars and expect to continue on an upward trajectory.
Jonathan: My player of the season is off to Newcastle and now the club's other match-winning talent is about to depart, leaving Callum Hudson-Odoi as the sole creator and finisher. Unless there is a player of similar quality about to join the squad, it is likely to be a low-scoring and challenging season.
Image source, Getty ImagesAnthony Elanga (17) and Morgan Gibbs-White (15) finished second and third respectively for most goal contributions in the Premier League for Forest last season, only behind striker Chris Wood (22).
Forest have already added to their forward line with the signing of Brazilian forward Igor Jesus from Brazilian side Botafogo for around £10m, but should Elanga and Gibbs-White depart, the expectation is that they will have to be replaced with further attacking additions.

We have spoken quite a bit today already about Tottenham and their pursuit of Morgan Gibbs-White, but what about the England midfielder's current club, Nottingham Forest?
Remember, they started the week by agreeing a £55m offer from Newcastle for key winger Anthony Elanga.
Where would Gibbs-White's expected departure leave Forest as they prepare to return to European competition since the 1995-96 season?
