Chelsea have reportedly been tracking Noni Madueke for quite a while and might now make an approach for him.

According to Voetbal International, the Stamford Bridge chain of command have followed the PSV Eindhoven winger for a ‘long time’.

Madueke is one of the latest attackers to be apparently mentioned within the Cobham circles.

Those stationed in South West London are clearly intent on improving Graham Potter’s line wherever possible.

David Datro Fofana is officially a Blue, following his move from Molde.

Meanwhile, Joao Felix is seemingly on the verge of leaving Atletico Madrid on loan to join the Premier League side.

Christopher Nkunku will become a Chelsea player once the season concludes, whilst Marcus Thuram remains the hot topic of conversation.

Is Noni Madueke on the move to Chelsea?

One young man’s name who has only recently landed on the lips of transfer chat is Madueke.

The 20-year-old is a surprise pick for the Chelsea heirehcy, considering his background and current status.

He actually started life out across the capital at Crystal Palace, before heading over to Tottenham Hotspur for nearly half a decade.

In 2018, the England Under-21 international put pen to paper at PSV, where he has called home ever since.

Whilst no longer living in England, the forward does have experience against Premier League opposition.

Last season, he faced Leicester City in the Europa Conference League quarter-final.

Before the contest, Madueke earned praise from former Chelsea coach Brendan Rodgers.

“He’s a talented player, he’s physically very good, he’s got a nice left foot, he’s dynamic, he wants to run in behind,” said Rodgers.

PSV want to keep Madueke

His appearance tally for the Dutch side is approaching the 100 mark, although it would’ve been even closer had he not missed a huge chunk of the campaign.

An ankle injury at the beginning of the term caused Madueke to be absent until late October.

He’s only recent returned to the team, and his manager doesn’t want him to leave anytime soon.

Voetbal International claim that Ruud Van Nistelrooy will not allow any more of his senior squad to leaving, following Cody Gakpo’s switch to Liverpool.

But when have Chelsea ever been told what to do by Van Nistelrooy?
