Chelsea FC have reached an agreement in principle with PSV Eindhoven to sign winger Noni Madueke for £29 million.
The final transfer agreement is still on progress. But the player is getting ready to fly to England.
Madueke began his career as a youth player at Crystal Palace before moving on to Tottenham.
He left Spurs in 2018 to join PSV Eindhoven, where he established himself as a first-team regular in 2020-21, scoring nine goals in 35 games last season.
PSV were reluctant to sell him because they had already sold Cody Gakpo to Liverpool this window, but Chelsea FC were reportedly very insistent.
Chelsea’s spending in this window will total £190 million, after spending £270 million in the summer, and £460 million since Todd Boehly took over the club.
Madueke joins Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, and Andrey Santos as Chelsea’s sixth signing of the January transfer window.
