Aston Villa have received encouragement to pursue Chelsea’s Noni Madueke in the summer transfer window, according to a recent report.
The 23-year-old has been an important member of Enzo Maresca’s squad, but concerns have been raised about his attitude to training, and there’s uncertainty about his long-term role at Stamford Bridge.
Madueke’s Frustration and Ambition
Madueke has contributed eight goals and four assists from 29 appearances this season, but he’s reportedly frustrated at not becoming a regular starter in the Premier League.
The England international aspires to become a first-choice player for Thomas Tuchel and is open to leaving Chelsea this summer to join a club where he’ll be promised regular minutes.

Villa’s Interest and Potential Fee
Aston Villa are among the admirers of Madueke, who remains contracted to Chelsea until 2030 with an option for a further 12 months.
The Blues might demand a hefty fee to prise him away from Stamford Bridge, considering his £29.8m arrival in January 2023 and 17 goals and seven assists from 75 games.
Chelsea’s Attacking Exodus
Madueke could be part of a potential attacking exodus at Chelsea, with Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer, Joao Felix, Raheem Sterling, Armando Broja, and David Datro Fofana also expected to be on the chopping block.
The Blues’ attacking powers have waned in recent weeks, with just one win in their last six Premier League games where they’ve scored more than once.
Transfer Implications
The potential transfer of Madueke and other attackers could have significant implications for Chelsea’s summer transfer plans.
The Blues might need to reassess their squad and make strategic signings to strengthen their attacking lineup.
As the transfer window approaches, the drama surrounding Madueke’s future continues to unfold.
