LONDON — Arsenal's transfer spree continued with the signing of England forward Noni Madueke from Chelsea on Friday. He is Arsenal’s fourth signing of the offseason after midfielders Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgard and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Arsenal have confirmed the shirt number for summer signing Noni Madueke. Madueke joins Arsenal from London rivals Chelsea in a deal that could be worth up to £52m if certain add-ons are met. The winger becomes the club’s fourth signing of the window following on from Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Christian Norgaard.

The idea of a player crossing the divide and joining a bitter rival can seem almost like sacrilege for fans. With Noni Madueke becoming the latest to move from Stamford Bridge to the Emirates, it continues a recent trend of transfers between Arsenal and Chelsea.
