Newcastle United is reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Noni Madueke from Chelsea before the summer closing day.
According to reports,the young English winger, has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs, but it seems Newcastle is leading the race to secure his signature.
Madueke, who joined Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven, has now been use regularly by the new manager and he’s been able to prove on being the first option for his outstanding performance.
Meanwhile Chelsea’s squad has limited his opportunities on the pitch owing to alot of options for their right wing and Newcastle, on the other hand, is looking to bolster their attacking options as they aim to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League this season with Noni madueuke fittings the spot.
The potential move to St. James’ Park would be a significant step for Madueke, and Newcastle’s manager, Eddie Howe, is could probably set aside everything to secure the player’s signature before the remaining days.
Reports suggest that the deal could be worth around £30 million, a fee that Newcastle is willing to pay to strengthen their squad.
If the deal goes through, Madueke would join a growing list of young talents at Newcastle, including the likes of Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimarães. The addition of Madueke could give Newcastle the edge they need in a highly competitive Premier League season.
With the summer transfer window closing on Friday, there are serious question marks over whether of not Newcastle will be able to strengthen their options on the right-hand side of their attack.
The likes of Federico Chiesa and Nico Gonzalez have been linked with moves to St. James’ Park this summer, but they look set for moves to Barcelona and Juventus respectively.
It remains to be seen how the manager would successfully finalize Noni Madueke’s move to Newcastle before the window shuts down.
