# Chelsea: Blues ‘considering’ Noni Madueke move

**[Chelsea](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-news/) are reportedly ‘considering’ a move for PSV winger Noni Madueke in this window.**

### The Lowdown: Felix agreement

It was reported by The Athletic journalist [David Ornstein](https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein/status/1612477317351178244?s=20&t=u4sqbrRuWISta4nRSryG0w) that Chelsea have reached a ‘verbal agreement’ to sign striker Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid.

They are set to pay a loan fee of €11m (£9.5m) to sign him for the rest of the season, with both Arsenal and Manchester United also thought to have been ‘keen’ on him.

### The Latest: Madueke considered

Taking to Twitter, The Times reporter [Tom Roddy](https://twitter.com/TomRoddy_/status/1612502841884610560) has revealed that the Blues are also ‘considering’ a move for Madueke, and are ‘trying’ to sign Borussia Monchengladbach striker Marcus Thuram alongside Felix:

*“Chelsea have improved attacking options with addition of Joao Felix on loan from Atletico which has been agreed between the clubs. #cfc trying to complete a deal for Marcus Thuram from Borussia Monchengladbach, too, and considering move for Noni Madueke.”*

### The Verdict: Get it done

Alongside Felix, Graham Potter’s side need more attacking reinforcements if they are to climb the Premier League table.

They are currently the [lowest scorers](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) in the top half, and have not been helped by a number of [injuries](https://www.premierinjuries.com/teams/chelsea) in their forward line.

Hailed as ‘crazy good’ and an ‘incredible’ player by Football Talent Scout [Jacek Kulig](https://twitter.com/FTalentScout/status/1424075991069208579), Madueke would offer Potter another option in attack, and at 20 years of age, has plenty of potential.

He has scored 19 goals and made a further 14 assists in 78 games in total for PSV over all competitions ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/noni-madueke/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/503987/plus/0?saison=&verein=383&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)), but has seen this campaign scuppered by [injury](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/noni-madueke/verletzungen/spieler/503987).

This should be Chelsea’s only concern, as the Englishman should flourish when he is on the pitch.
