Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing Noni Madueke, here is everything you need to know about the Chelsea man.
As transfer deadline day fast approaches, Newcastle United are set for a busy few weeks as the Magpies aim to bring in a centre-half and a winger before the window slams shut.
Newcastle have had bids rejected for Crystal Palace’s Marc Geuhi, meanwhile, Eddie Howe’s search for a new winger now seems set on Chelsea’s Noni Madueke.
Eddie Howe originally wanted Micheal Olise but the Frenchman’s move to Bayern Munich has seen Newcastle turn their attention to the Chelsea man.
Having joined the Blues in January 2023 for £29m, Madueke’s future at Stamford Bridge now looks uncertain, with Chelsea reportedly willing to listen to offers for the winger – according to The Telegraph.
So with Newcastle’s pursuit of Madueke heating up, Geordie Boot Boys thought it would be worthwhile taking a closer look at the former PSV star.

Madueke primarily plays as a right-winger but he is also adept at playing anywhere across the frontline, showcasing his ability as a versatile forward.
