Arsenal Unveil £80 Million Striker as Summer Spending Spree ContinuesArsenal have officially announced the signing of their new £80 million striker, concluding long-running negotiations with the player’s representatives and Andrea Berta.
The forward has signed a contract that will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until 2031, marking a major addition to the club’s attacking lineup.
This marks Arsenal’s fifth signing of the summer — a proven goal scorer who netted 26 goals last season and has now committed to a six-year deal.
In another major development, the Gunners have secured a £60 million agreement for a top-tier attacker who registered 20 goals and 18 assists last season.
The player has agreed to a four-year deal, with the option to extend by a further season. He is expected to undergo a medical tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are engaged in active discussions with Chelsea regarding winger Noni Madueke. The club views the Englishman as an ideal addition to strengthen their wide areas — a key focus in their summer recruitment strategy.
Chelsea’s recent flurry of attacking signings has increased internal competition, potentially prompting Madueke to consider a move elsewhere for more consistent playing time.
A switch to Arsenal would allow him to remain in London, a factor that may ease personal negotiations.
Talks are ongoing, with Chelsea currently valuing the player at £50 million. While the Blues appear in no rush to finalize a deal, Arsenal may try to negotiate a lower price if other suitors stay on the sidelines.
However, the situation could change rapidly if rival bids come in.Arsenal are optimistic that Madueke’s Premier League experience and familiarity with London would allow for a smooth transition and instant contribution. Although nothing has been finalized yet, discussions continue as the Gunners aim to complete the move before the transfer window closes.
Still, they face competition. Reports suggest several other clubs are monitoring Madueke’s situation, meaning Arsenal must act decisively to avoid missing out.
Inside sources believe that if the Gunners make a strong enough push, Madueke would likely favor a move to the Emirates — but time will tell whether they can convince Chelsea to let him go.
