– Madueke follows Mykhailo Mudryk, David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and Benoit Badiashile in making a permanent move to Stamford Bridge, while Joao Felix has also arrived on loan.
– A statment from chairman Boehly and co-controlling owner Behdad Eghbali read: “We’re delighted to bring Noni to Chelsea.
– “He’s an exciting talent who has proven his quality over the past few years with PSV, playing in a strong European league, and we are thrilled he has chosen to join Chelsea for this next stage of his career. We are sure he will form an important part of our team.”
– Madueke has made just two Eredivisie starts this season for PSV due to injury problems, and only came off the bench in the club’s two Europa League matches against Arsenal.
– The forward spent four years at Tottenham as a youngster, and has four England U21 caps to his name.
– The club stated: “Chelsea would like to thank PSV for their cooperation in enabling Noni to take up this new opportunity.”
