Chelsea have announced the signing of promising forward Noni Madueke from PSV Eindhoven on a seven-and-a-half-year deal - with the option of an extra year. The 20-year-old has shown plenty of ability in his time in the Netherlands, where he looked for his breakthrough after leaving Tottenham's youth ranks.
He managed to do that last season, though the current campaign has come with plenty of injury concerns and a lack of minutes as a result. He will be hoping for better luck with those concerns, especially given the Blues' track record with absences as of late, as Todd Boehly continues his search for promising players for the future.
"I’m really pleased to sign with one of the best clubs in the world in Chelsea," the England youth international told the official Chelsea website. "To return to England and play in the Premier League is a dream for me and my family and I can’t wait to get started. I am excited for what the future holds, the owner's vision for the future and to be at a club like this and winning at the highest level."

Madueke joins the likes of David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos, Benoit Badiashile, Joao Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk as the seventh signing of the January window. With how busy it's been for the Blues, it's a statement of intent from the new owners as to where the transfer philosophy is going.
Chelsea Chairman Todd Boehly and co-owner Behdad Eghbali also added: "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."
It remains to be seen where he will fit in the plans for the rest of the season, however there are hopes for what he could become in the future.
