The English premier league side, Chelsea has completed the signing of the Nigerian youngster and PSV Eindhoven forward, Chukwunonso ‘Noni’ Tristan Madueke from Belgium side league, PSV.
The Blues agreed a £29m deal in principle with PSV Eindhoven to sign winger. He left his club on Thursday afternoon on Turkish Airline to London for medical.
Madueke started his youth career at Crystal Palace before moving to Tottenham.
He left Spurs in 2018 for PSV Eindhoven, establishing himself as a first-team regular in the 2020-21 campaign and scored nine goals.
There was a feeling PSV would not want to sell him because they already sold Cody Gakpo to Liverpool this window, but it is understood Chelsea were very insistent.
The deal will take Chelsea’s spending in this window to £190m, having already spent £270m in the summer, and to £460m since Todd Boehly took over the club.
Madueke will become Chelsea’s sixth signing of the January transfer window, following the arrivals of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos.
Madueke is eligible to play for Nigeria’s Olympic Team and Super Eagles.
