Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace will reportedly rival Chelsea in the race to sign Noni Madueke from PSV Eindhoven.
According to a report from 90min, PSV Eindhoven are unwilling to sell Noni Madueke this month. But they could consider offers of around €40 million amid interest from Chelsea, Crystal Palace, and Tottenham Hotspur.
The talented young winger has a contract with PSV Eindhoven until the summer of 2025. And it remains to be seen whether his suitors are prepared to pay the asking price for him. The 20-year-old has been a useful first-team player for the Dutch outfit, and he has the potential to develop into a top-class winger with the right coaching and experience.
Chelsea are looking to add depth to their attacking unit and they have already signed Joao Felix and David Fofana this month. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to splash out €40 million on Madueke before the January transfer window closes.
Most of their key attackers have looked out of sorts this season, and Graham Potter will have to add more quality in the final third. So the English winger has emerged as an attractive target for Chelsea.
Similarly, Tottenham are hoping to beef up their attacking options as well. They have been linked with the move for Brighton attacker Leandro Trossard as well. Son Heung-min has not been at his best this season, and Conte needs more options at his disposal. Madueke could be a solid long-term investment for the London club.
Crystal Palace are thought to be keen on signing their former academy graduate as well. Patrick Vieira is looking to put together a talented young squad at Selhurst Park, and Madueke would be a superb acquisition for them. The 20-year-old will add pace and flair in the final third and he could be the ideal long-term replacement for Wilfried Zaha.
Zaha has been linked with a move away from Crystal Palace at the end of the season, with Chelsea and Tottenham showing interest in him. So the Eagles will need to replace him adequately. The reported €40 million asking price could look like a bargain if the English attacker manages to fulfill his potential in the coming seasons.
