Tottenham are reportedly interested in a move for Noni Madueke, as Chelsea could sanction a sale for the right price.
According to TBR, Noni Madueke emerged as a target for Tottenham ahead of the summer, with Chelsea reportedly open to selling the winger. Spurs are not alone in the race as Aston Villa and Newcastle United could monitor the England international’s future.
Tottenham are expected to stay active in the summer window to sign attacking talents. Ange Postecoglou needs a striker as well as a wide attacker, with some names already being linked with a move to north London. Tyler Dibling is a target, while there were links to Aston Villa star Leon Bailey at the end of the January window.
There are concerns that Brennan Johnson’s style suits Tottenham in the long-term, and while the Welsh star has been a good addition, Postecoglou might angle a move for an upgrade. Noni Madueke emerged as the latest target for Spurs, who could potentially explore a move for the attacker.
Madueke signed for Chelsea from PSV in the January window of 2023 and has been a decent acquisition with a modest output. The winger started his career on the books of Tottenham before moving to PSV as a youth player.
Spurs could angle a move for the player, although they face competition from fellow Premier League sides. Newcastle United are interested in signing Madueke, as they held talks last summer to figure out a move. Aston Villa are also keen on the £30 million Chelsea player, as they could view him as a replacement for Leon Bailey.
Can Tottenham sign Noni Madueke?
Madueke might not have strong ties with Spurs, but the chance to play for one of the big London sides and stay in the City might be appealing. He might want to fight his way back into Enzo Maresca’s thinking, although the report states the Italian manager as well as Chelsea are open to dealing for the winger.
Chelsea would ideally like a considerable fee that would see them make a healthy profit on their £30 million investment. A few years ago it might have been a problem, but Chelsea might be open to doing business with their London rivals if the price is right, as they have already done a few with Arsenal for the likes of Jorginho and Kai Havertz in recent windows.
