Madueke is also a part of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad and is in contention to play at next year’s World Cup if the team qualifies.
“Noni is an exciting and powerful young player, with his performances and numbers in recent seasons being of consistently high quality,” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said. “At just 23, Noni already brings experience of club and international football, and he knows the Premier League very well. Having seen the quality of Noni’s performances up close in recent seasons, we’re really excited he is joining us.”
