Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Noni Madueke from Chelsea and with the move edging closer to completion, fans want to know when he will be confirmed as the club's fourth summer arrival.
The winger is currently in London having flown back to the English capital from the United States, where the Blues are set to compete in the final of the Club World Cup, and will undergo the final part of his medical within the next 24 hours.
Once the procedures are complete, he should be ready to sign his contract and be confirmed as the Gunners' latest signing, but just when will the club officially announce the move?

There has been no clear reports on when Madueke will be officially confirmed as an Arsenal player, but there is a feeling it will happen sooner rather than later.
Dharmesh Sheth of Sky Sports News revealed that should all be well with the winger's medical, a formal announcement is expected soon. With the Gunners currently training in Marbella ahead of their pre-season trip to Asia, it is highly likely they will announce the signing at some point in the coming week. Mikel Arteta will want to bring his new addition on the new tour.
Madueke is set to join Arsenal in a deal worth £52million. The club will pay Chelsea an initial £48m with another £4m expected in add-ons.
The move hasn't come without criticism from fans however, with many citing it as an attempt to bring yet another Blues 'reject' to the side. Despite this, he will bring plenty of positivity to the Gunners and should offer them quality as they look to improve their squad depth.
While Madueke should be a good addition, there is no denying that Arsenal have made a habit of signing players from their London rivals in recent years and while some have fared well in red and white, others have not.
Whether fans are happy with the club signing Madueke or not, there is always a sense of excitement that surrounds a new signing. He will need to be given a chance to prove himself in north London and with regular minutes, he should perform well. His signing is imminent and fans can likely look forward to seeing him be announced very soon.
