Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering a move for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke this summer after the Blues placed him on the transfer market, according to TBR Football. Spurs are keen to reinforce their attacking options ahead of the next campaign, and the 22-year-old has emerged as a potential target.
Madueke, who joined Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023 for a fee of around £30 million, has been a key part of Enzo Maresca’s squad this season. He has contributed 12 goal involvements across 28 appearances and has also earned five England caps along the way. However, despite his involvement, the Chelsea manager does not see him as a long-term piece of the puzzle at Stamford Bridge. As a result, the Blues are open to offloading him in the upcoming transfer window, paving the way for clubs like Tottenham to make a move.
Spurs, under Ange Postecoglou, are currently engaged in a battle to secure European football for next season. While they still have a chance to qualify for the Champions League via their Premier League position, their most realistic route to securing a European spot might come through winning the Europa League. Regardless of how their season ends, the club is planning for a summer squad overhaul, and strengthening the attack is seen as a priority. There are concerns over the long-term futures of key players like Heung-Min Son, James Maddison, and Wilson Odobert, which has led the club to explore new attacking options.
Madueke, who has been described as an ‘electric’ and dynamic winger, has caught Tottenham’s attention as a player who could add an extra spark to their attack. However, they are not the only club interested in his services. Reports suggest that both Aston Villa and Newcastle United are also monitoring the situation closely and could enter the race for his signature. Despite Chelsea’s willingness to sell, it remains unclear whether Madueke himself is open to a move away from Stamford Bridge or if he has a preferred destination should he leave.
While no concrete transfer fee has been reported, Chelsea’s initial investment of £30 million and Madueke’s lengthy seven-and-a-half-year contract indicate that he won’t be available for a bargain price. The Blues will likely aim to recoup a significant portion of their investment, which could make negotiations tricky for potential suitors.
Tottenham are currently assessing their wing options, with Timo Werner almost certain to depart once his loan spell expires. Other wide players could also consider their futures if the club fails to secure European qualification for the 2025/26 season. Additionally, uncertainty surrounds Postecoglou’s own future as Spurs’ manager, and should he leave, it could significantly impact the club’s transfer strategy in the summer window.
For now, Tottenham’s interest in Madueke remains strong, but with competition from other Premier League sides and potential financial hurdles, it remains to be seen whether they can secure the young winger’s signature ahead of next season.
