Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign winger Noni Madueke from Chelsea, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Gunners have struck a deal with their London rivals after agreeing a fee in excess of £50million, including add-ons on Thursday night. Madueke has already agreed personal terms with Mikel Arteta's side, having accepted a proposal of a five-year contract days ago.
The winger is now set to join Arsenal from Chelsea in a deal that not many fans are particularly pleased about.

Arsenal's initial interest in Madueke came as a shock considering they had been linked with a move for the likes of Rodrygo and Anthony Gordon earlier in the window. It quickly accelerated however and has culminated in a deal being agreed.
Fans aren't overly happy with the Gunners signing yet another unwanted player from Chelsea, especially for a fee that is likely to rise to over £50m. He has been viewed as being overpriced and an unnecessary addition.
A winger was one of the club's primary targets heading into the summer and Madueke may not be the best conclusion to that desire. While a good player, he arguably doesn't warrant such a fee due to not being good enough to be a starter for Arsenal. Many have perceived him to be brought in as a backup to Bukayo Saka.
Regardless, he is now set to make the switch from west to north London and fans will have to get used to that pretty quickly with the signing likely to be confirmed before the side begin their pre-season campaign in less than two weeks.
His introduction will add quality depth to the squad, even if it's not the addition fans wanted, but it may also cause problems for other players. Having technically been a backup to Saka last season, Ethan Nwaneri's minutes could be affected by Madueke's arrival.
The Athletic's David Ornstein reported that an agreement hadn't yet been reached, but the two clubs were close to striking a £52m compromise. No matter whose news you believe, a deal is close to being or is done.
It will be a wait-and-see until the move is official and he is integrated in the side, but it's safe to say Arsenal fans will be torn over the big-money move for Noni Madueke.
