Arsenal Football Club have received a significant financial boost in their summer transfer campaign after reaching a £15 million agreement to sell midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga, as the club also awaits a final decision on Noni Madueke’s situation at Chelsea.
According to Football.London, the £15 million fee—agreed with Sevilla—will contribute to Arsenal’s budget for further summer reinforcements, potentially impacting their ability to pursue key attacking targets.
This development comes at a time when Arsenal are monitoring the status of England international Noni Madueke, who is facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge under new Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca. While no formal approach has been made, Madueke remains a player of interest, especially if he becomes surplus to requirements at Chelsea.
The Lokonga deal not only frees up squad space but also generates capital that could help Arsenal stay compliant with Premier League profit and sustainability rules. The club has been actively reshaping its squad after narrowly missing out on the 2024/2025 league title to Manchester City.
Meanwhile, Arsenal continue to weigh their options in the wide forward department. While Madueke is not the Gunners’ primary target, his potential availability has sparked internal discussions at the Emirates.
Madueke, a former PSV Eindhoven winger, has shown flashes of brilliance but struggled for consistent game time since joining Chelsea. With Chelsea expected to offload multiple attackers this window, a reshuffle could place Madueke on the market.
As Arsenal seek to build on their recent strong league performances and bolster squad depth for another title push and Champions League campaign, fans remain eager for decisive summer business.
