Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as the frontrunners in the race to sign Chelsea’s dynamic winger Noni Madueke, with Aston Villa also circling.
Spurs Eye Chelsea Talent as Summer Window Heats Up
According to Mick Brown (Football Insider), the 22-year-old English attacker looks set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer in search of more consistent playing time. Spurs are reportedly in pole position to land Madueke, who is frustrated with his limited role at Chelsea despite showing flashes of brilliance.
After rising through the ranks at PSV Eindhoven, Madueke made a high-profile move to Chelsea in January 2023. However, he has struggled to secure a regular starting spot, making just 31 appearances this season, with under 1,800 minutes on the pitch. Despite registering 14 goal contributions, new boss Enzo Maresca remains unconvinced by his attitude and long-term fit in the squad.
Tottenham Ready to Offer Madueke a Fresh Start
Spurs are keen to bolster their attack after a mixed campaign under Ange Postecoglou and view Madueke as an ideal addition. With his pace, flair, and Premier League experience, the North London club believe he can thrive in their system—especially with the promise of more regular minutes.
Aston Villa in the Hunt—but Spurs Hold the Edge
While Unai Emery is pushing for Aston Villa to enter the race, Spurs are currently ahead thanks to their willingness to offer a clear pathway to the starting XI. A move across London could be exactly what Madueke needs to reignite his career.
