Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has disclosed that he won’t stand in the way of Noni Madueke from joining Arsenal.. Recall that Madueke looks set to become the latest player to swap blue for red in London after a £48.5m fee was agreed between the two clubs, with Chelsea giving him permission to undergo a medical.. The 23-year-old will subsequently play no part in Chelsea’s bid to become world champions as they take on Paris Saint-Germain in New Jersey on Sunday..

In a chat with the club’s website, Maresca revealed that it was the player’s decision to leave Chelsea.. “Noni is in contact with the new club,” he told a press conference. “I guess he is going to be (announced) in the next hours.”. “I said in the one of the last press conferences, if players want to leave then it is difficult for the club and the manager. Noni decided to leave, nobody told Noni he had to leave. If he is happy, we are happy.”. Maresca has long been complimentary about Madueke, who last season earned his maiden call-up to the England national team, causing some to wonder why this sale has been sanctioned.
