Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has told Noni Madueke that he is free to leave the Premier League club this summer.
Arsenal are believed to hold an interest in adding Madueke to their squad.
The Gunners have reportedly initiated fresh round of transfer talks, with Chelsea valuing the 23-year-old at £50 million.
Madueke only moved to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2023 and has a contract with the club until 2030.
However, Jamie Gittens’ arrival from Borussia Dortmund could now lead to Madueke’s exit.
Speaking to reporters, Maresca said: “Noni has been very important for us during this season. Today, again, he has been important.
“But my message to the players and to the club is that I want just players that are happy to be with us. The ones that are not happy, they are free to go.”
