Chelsea will reportedly sign Noni Madueke on a massive long-term contract.
According to the Times, Madueke is on the verge of joining the ranks at Stamford Bridge from PSV Eindhoven on a seven-and-a-half-year deal.
The 20-year-old is set to officially become a Blue very soon, after PSV agreed to let the winger leave for £30m.
Once announced by Chelsea, the Premier League side will have secured their sixth signing this month.
Todd Boehly and his team have already acquired David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos, Benoit Badiashile, Joao Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk in January.
Mudryk’s arrival certainly trounced his fellow new recruits on the financial spectrum.
His switch from Shakhtar Donetsk included an £88.5m price tag and whopping eight-and-a-half-year contract.
This is largely to spread the cost of the attacker’s transfer over a period of time.
But it’s also Boehly’s way of building for the future, a stance he has taken with nearly all the latest additions.
Noni Madueke will be the freshest face at Chelsea
Badiashile is contracted until 2030, Fofana until 2029 and Santos until 2028.
Gabriel Slonina and Carney Chukwuemeka, both acquired in the summer, are contracted until 2028 as well.
Madueke will seemingly be tied to Stamford Bridge until 2030, a sizeable commitment for a player who is still relatively fresh on the senior scene.
Hopefully his bumper deal will be justified with goals, assists and general contribution to Chelsea’s success.
Boy, does Graham Potter need that right now.
