According to reports, the initial bid includes add-ons, and the package is valued at around £50 million. However, Chelsea is believed to be seeking a higher price for the player, as they consider deals for other wingers, like Elanga, to be their benchmark.

Despite the negotiations, the relationship between Arsenal and Chelsea remains positive, and Madueke is said to have agreed to join the North London club. The 23-year-old has been a key player for Chelsea, featuring in 32 of their 38 Premier League games and providing seven goals and three assists.

Madueke's potential departure from Chelsea comes as the club has strengthened its attack with new signings, including João Pedro, Jamie Gittens, and Liam Delap. As a result, Madueke has been deemed surplus to requirements, and Arsenal's bid has been submitted in an effort to bring him to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal has also been linked with other players, such as Real Madrid's Rodrygo and Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, but it appears that Madueke is the club's top target for a new winger.

The situation between Arsenal and Chelsea is ongoing, with negotiations set to continue in the coming days. However, it seems that Madueke is one step closer to joining the North London club.
