Noni Madueke is set to stay at Chelsea this summer despite rumours linking him with a move away according to Fabrizio Romano.
Madueke starred as he scored a hat-trick in Chelsea’s emphatic 6-2 win away at Wolves on Sunday, arguably his best performance in a Chelsea shirt.
The winger seems perfectly suited to Enzo Maresca’s system and having not started the first two games of the season he’s now scored four goals in three games as he looks to stake a claim for a regular place in the starling line-up.
Madueke set to stay at Chelsea
The 22-year-old arrived at Stamford Bridge from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in January 2023 but struggled to make an impact in his first six months at the club.
After a difficult start to last season there were signs of improvement under Mauricio Pochettino as Madueke finished the season really strongly and he scored a number of important goals for the Blues.
However, despite a positive pre-season and an impressive start to the campaign there had been reports suggesting Chelsea would be open to letting Madueke go if a really good offer came in.
Newcastle were believed to be a side interested in the England under-21 international but nothing has materialised on that front and Romano has now provided an update on the winger.
“Noni Madueke is set to stay at Chelsea, I think today (Sunday) is the final confirmation of this plan,” he said on The Here We Go Podcast.
This news will no doubt delight Chelsea fans and anything other than keeping Madueke wouldn’t have gone down well with the supporters.
Madueke has developed so much already since he arrived at Chelsea and under Maresca it appears his game is going to another level and he can really establish himself as a key part of this side.
It appears he’s got a brilliant understanding with Cole Palmer and the pair linked up to devastating effect against Wolves and could be a problem for many more Premier League defences.
