Noni Madueke is an Arsenal player.

诺尼·马杜埃凯已经成为阿森纳球员。

While the progress of the deal has been relatively serene, the reception among supporters has been anything but. Arsenal's pursuit of the 23-year-old has met with considerable resistance from some fans.

尽管这笔交易的进展相对顺利，但在球迷中的反响却截然相反。阿森纳对这位23岁球员的追求遭遇了部分球迷的强烈抵制。

It feels situational, rather than personal. Arsenal fans are wearied by a succession of signings from Chelsea. Madueke is the 10th player to make the move across London since the turn of the millennium. Many of those --- Petr Cech, David Luiz, Willian and most recently Raheem Sterling --- have underwhelmed. There is a feeling among supporters that when Chelsea want to cash in on a dispensable asset, Arsenal are sometimes too willing to oblige.

这种情绪似乎源于环境而非个人恩怨。阿森纳球迷对接连从切尔西签下球员感到厌倦。马杜埃凯是自千禧年以来第10位跨越伦敦完成转会的球员。其中许多人——彼得·切赫、大卫·路易斯、威廉，以及最近的拉希姆·斯特林——的表现都未能达到预期。球迷们普遍感觉，每当切尔西想出售一名可出售资产时，阿森纳有时都过于乐意配合。

That feeling --- perhaps enhanced by the news of an agreement for Madueke breaking before Arsenal secure the No 9 fans are craving --- prompted a somewhat hostile response to the mooted transfer. At the time of writing, a change.org petition against the signing has garnered more than 5,000 signatures.

这种感觉——可能因马杜埃凯转会协议的消息在阿森纳敲定球迷渴望的9号位球员之前曝光而加剧——导致了对这笔拟议中的转会产生了一些敌意反应。截至本文撰写时，一个反对签下他的请愿书已收集了超过5000个签名。

All for nought: the deal is now done. Arsenal will pay an initial fee of £48.5million ($65.5m), rising to £52m with add-ons. Madueke has signed a five-year contract until 2030. The figures involved suggest both he and Arsenal are committed to this new venture.

然而一切反对都是徒劳：交易现已完成。阿森纳将支付4850万英镑的初始转会费，加上浮动条款后最高可达5200万英镑。马杜埃凯签下了一份为期五年、直至2030年的合同。涉及的金额表明他和阿森纳都决心投入这项新的合作。

The Athletic has spoken to people with an understanding of the talks, from both clubs and the player's side, to tell the story of the deal. They spoke on condition of anonymity to protect relationships.

《The Athletic》采访了了解谈判内情的人士，包括两家俱乐部和球员方面，以讲述这笔交易背后的故事。他们要求匿名发言以保护各方关系。

Despite the noise, Madueke is not fazed. Those close to him remark on his strong mentality. He sees any negativity around the signing as a challenge, and is energised by the opportunity to work hard to prove people wrong.

尽管外界喧嚣，马杜埃凯并未被吓倒。他身边的人评价他心态强大。他将围绕转会的任何负面声音视为挑战，并为有机会通过努力证明他人错误而充满干劲。

Arsenal are adamant they've secured an exciting young player for a fee that falls in line with market values.

阿森纳坚信他们以符合市场价值的价格签下了一位令人兴奋的年轻球员。

He will not join up with Arsenal immediately. Madueke was eager to cut short his post-Club World Cup holiday to join in his new club's pre-season plans immediately and be involved in the trip to Singapore and Hong Kong.

他不会立即加入阿森纳。马杜埃凯曾渴望缩短世俱杯后的假期，以便立即加入新俱乐部的季前计划并参与新加坡和香港之行。

Ultimately, Arsenal have urged him to get some rest. They want him recharged and mentally fresh before a long season, and have convinced him to take a two-week break, during which he will have access to one of the club's strength and conditioning coaches.

最终，阿森纳还是敦促他先休息。俱乐部希望他在漫长的赛季前恢复体能并保持精神饱满，并说服他进行为期两周的休息。在此期间，他将得到俱乐部一名体能和力量教练的指导。

The deal came together relatively swiftly. Arsenal had been in the market for a winger who could provide an alternative to Bukayo Saka on the right-hand side --- ideally a player who could offer speed, versatility and penetration.

这笔交易达成得相对迅速。阿森纳一直在寻找一名能在右路为布卡约·萨卡提供轮换的边锋——理想人选是具备速度、多面手特性和突破能力的球员。

They targeted Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, but when the Cameroon international decided his preference was to join Manchester United in early June, Arsenal began to explore alternative options --- among them, Madueke.

他们的目标是布伦特福德的布莱恩·姆贝乌莫，但当这位喀麦隆国脚在六月初决定优先加盟曼联后，阿森纳开始探索其他选择——马杜埃凯便是其中之一。

Madueke has long had admirers among Arsenal's coaching staff, including Mikel Arteta. In previous summers, former sporting director Edu and the recruitment department had reservations over any prospective deal, but with Andrea Berta now at the helm, there is a new dynamic.

马杜埃凯长期以来一直受到阿森纳教练组的欣赏，包括米克尔·阿尔特塔。在之前的几个夏窗，前体育总监埃杜和招募部门对任何潜在交易都持保留态度，但随着安德烈亚·贝尔塔的上任，情况发生了新的变化。

This summer, Arsenal were attracted by Madueke's productivity, his Premier League experience, his ability to play on both wings --- he played four consecutive league games for Chelsea on the left across April and May --- and his age. Quick and physically strong, he was a good fit for the profile of attacker they were looking for to augment their front-line.

今夏，阿森纳被马杜埃凯的进攻效率、英超经验、能胜任两翼的能力（他在四月和五月间连续四场英超联赛中为切尔西出任左翼）以及他的年龄所吸引。速度快且身体强壮的他，符合球队寻求加强锋线所需攻击手的特质。

In a window in which Arsenal have signed 30-year-old Kepa Arrizabalaga (also from Chelsea), 31-year-old Christian Norgaard and are closing in on 27-year-old Viktor Gyokeres, signing a 23-year-old forward helps maintain the age balance of the squad. Despite his youth, he's also a player who's already amassed considerable experience, in both Europe and the Premier League.

在这个转会窗，阿森纳已经签下了30岁的凯帕·阿里萨巴拉加（同样来自切尔西）、31岁的克里斯蒂安·诺尔高，并即将签下27岁的维克托·吉克尔斯，此时签下一位23岁的前锋有助于维持球队的年龄平衡。尽管年轻，他也是在欧洲和英超都积累了相当丰富经验的球员。

Furthermore, over the past two seasons, Madueke has largely had a good injury record --- an attribute Arteta prizes. Since joining Chelsea in January 2023, he has made 92 appearances. Last season alone, he played more than 2,000 minutes.

此外，过去两个赛季，马杜埃凯基本保持着良好的伤病记录——这是阿尔特塔看重的特质。自2023年1月加盟切尔西以来，他已出场92次。仅上个赛季，他的出场时间就超过了2000分钟。

Chelsea have been open to offers for Madueke this summer --- as they were 12 months earlier. He had occasional disciplinary issues at Stamford Bridge and towards the end of 2023-24, he was involved in an on-field dispute over a penalty with team-mate Nicolas Jackson.

切尔西今夏一直对出售马杜埃凯持开放态度——就像12个月前一样。他在切尔西偶有纪律问题，在2023-24赛季末，他还因点球主罚权与队友尼古拉斯·杰克逊在场上发生争执。

He was twice left out of Enzo Maresca's matchday squad last season --- once for training poorly, and once due to a "technical decision". His biggest high at Chelsea was scoring a hat-trick against Wolves --- shortly after creating uproar by declaring on social media, "this place is s\\\." This incident did put Madueke under scrutiny, but he remained a first-team regular under Maresca.

上赛季他有两次被排除在恩佐·马雷斯卡的比赛日大名单之外——一次是因为训练表现不佳，另一次则是因为“技术决定”。他在切尔西最高光的时刻是对阵狼队时上演帽子戏法——但就在此不久前，他因在社交媒体上宣称“这地方糟透了”而引发轩然大波。这起事件确实让马杜埃凯受到审视，但他仍然是马雷斯卡麾下的一线队常客。

"With Noni, I have a personal relationship, in terms of he can do much more," Maresca said in December. "In the moment that he starts to score or assist and is happy, he starts to drop a little bit. He has to understand that he has to train every day good, he has to be ambitious. If he scores one tonight, he has to go for the second one, the third one.

“我和诺尼有私人关系，我的意思是，他可以做得更多，”马雷斯卡在去年12月说道。“当他开始进球或助攻并感到开心时，他的状态就会开始下滑一点。他必须明白，他必须每天都好好训练，他必须要有雄心。如果今晚进了一个球，他必须去追求第二个、第三个。”

"He has to be ambitious, to give more assists... Noni has to understand he has to work more because he can be much, much, much better."

“他必须有雄心，送出更多助攻……诺尼必须明白他需要付出更多努力，因为他可以变得非常、非常、非常优秀。”

Madueke and Maresca had a positive relationship. As with previous Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino, there was an element of tough love --- but Madueke believes it made him a better, more mature player.

马杜埃凯与马雷斯卡关系良好。如同前任切尔西主帅毛里西奥·波切蒂诺一样，其中包含一种严厉关爱的成分——但马杜埃凯认为这让他成为了更优秀、更成熟的球员。

For their part, Arsenal undertook background checks on Madueke. They also spoke to their England contingent about him, and received good references about his personality and impact on the dressing room. They see a player determined to improve: he has worked with an individual skills coach outside of club training to further his development.

阿森纳方面则对马杜埃凯进行了背景调查。他们还与队内的英格兰国脚们谈论过他，并获得了关于他个性和对更衣室影响的良好评价。他们认为这是一位决心进步的球员：他曾在俱乐部训练之外聘请个人技能教练来促进自身发展。

It's also a question of numbers. On the flanks, Chelsea have Pedro Neto, Estevao Willian and new arrival Jamie Gittens. Cole Palmer and another summer signing, Joao Pedro, can also be used on the wing. Chelsea may yet go for another attacker later in the window --- and have Geovany Quenda of Sporting CP arriving in 2026. In both the short and long term, Madueke's opportunities looked to be diminishing.

这也是一个人员数量的问题。在边路，切尔西拥有佩德罗·内托、埃斯特旺·威廉以及新援杰米·吉滕斯。科尔·帕尔默和另一位夏窗新援若昂·佩德罗也能踢边路。切尔西可能还会在转会窗后期追逐另一名攻击手——而且他们还有在2026年加盟的葡萄牙体育球员吉奥瓦尼·昆达。无论短期还是长期来看，马杜埃凯的机会似乎都在减少。

Part of Chelsea's model involves selling players for profit. Having paid €35million to sign him from PSV in 2023, Chelsea recognised an opportunity to make good on their investment.

出售球员获利是切尔西运营模式的一部分。切尔西在2023年花费3500万欧元从埃因霍温签下他，如今他们看到了兑现投资回报的机会。

As Arsenal stepped up their interest, there was an acceptance at Chelsea that Madueke would leave --- but only for the right price. He still had five years remaining on the Chelsea contract he signed in 2023. Those long contracts were designed partly to ensure Chelsea protect the value of their assets.

随着阿森纳加大兴趣，切尔西内部接受了马杜埃凯将离队的事实——但前提是价格合适。他在2023年与切尔西签下的合同还有五年才到期。这些长期合同的设计初衷之一就是确保切尔西能保护其资产的价值。

"Noni has been very important for us," said Maresca after Madueke started on the bench for the Club World Cup quarter-final against Palmeiras. "But my message to the players and to the club is that I just want players who are happy to be with us.

“诺尼对我们一直非常重要，”马雷斯卡在马杜埃凯在对帕尔梅里斯的世俱杯四分之一决赛中替补待命后说道。“但我传递给球员和俱乐部的信息是，我只想要那些乐意和我们在一起的球员。”

"The ones that are not happy, they are free to go."

“那些不开心的球员，他们可以自由离开。”

Despite Maresca's assertion, Madueke never asked to leave Chelsea --- even last year, when he was aware they were open to moving him on.

尽管马雷斯卡有此断言，但马杜埃凯从未主动要求离开切尔西——即使是在去年，当他得知俱乐部愿意出售他时也没有。

He recognised he was part of a previous generation of Chelsea signings, and that the club was moving in a different direction. With the new recruiting staff and the rise of co-director of recruitment Joe Shields (formerly of Manchester City's academy), came a trust and focus on former City academy talent: Palmer, Romeo Lavia, Liam Delap, and Jamie Gittens. Madueke sensed he and the club were drifting apart.

他意识到自己是切尔西上一代引援的一部分，而俱乐部正朝着不同的方向发展。随着新的招募团队上任以及招募联席主管乔·希尔兹（前曼城青训主管）地位的上升，俱乐部开始信任并专注于引进前曼城青训营的人才：帕尔默、罗密欧·拉维亚、利亚姆·德拉普和吉滕斯。马杜埃凯感觉到他与俱乐部正在渐行渐远。

As a potential destination, Arsenal held an immediate appeal for Madueke. At Chelsea, he was part of a group of predominantly young players. When things didn't go well, it wasn't always clear who to turn to for leadership and guidance.

作为潜在目的地，阿森纳对马杜埃凯有着直接的吸引力。在切尔西，他是以年轻球员为主的团队中的一员。当事情进展不顺时，并不总是清楚该向谁寻求领导力和指导。

Madueke believes Arsenal will be different. He sees a dressing room full of big, experienced characters and strong personalities. He regards Arsenal as a team with multiple captains on the field at the same time, and is eager to work in that kind of structure and with the level of accountability that tends to follow. He already has good relationships with several of the Arsenal players through England duty, and believes he will fit easily into the squad dynamic.

马杜埃凯相信阿森纳会不同。他看到的是一个充满经验丰富、性格鲜明的大牌球员的更衣室。他将阿森纳视为一支在场上同时拥有多位领袖的球队，并渴望在那种结构和随之而来的责任感水平下工作。通过英格兰国家队任务，他已经与几位阿森纳球员建立了良好的关系，并相信自己能轻松融入球队氛围。

He recognises he is joining a settled team --- and one in which the star player, Bukayo Saka, plays in his position --- but believes he will be afforded an opportunity to make his case.

他认识到自己是加入了一支稳定的球队——而且队中的明星球员布卡约·萨卡踢的正是他的位置——但他相信自己会获得证明自己的机会。

The move presents Madueke with a chance to remain in London. Madueke grew up in the north London borough of Barnet, equidistant between the Emirates Stadium and Arsenal's London Colney training ground. As a boy, he attended St Columba's College, a St Albans school a stone's throw from Arsenal's Sobha Realty training centre, and spent four years on the books at rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

这次转会给了马杜埃凯留在伦敦的机会。他在北伦敦的巴尼特区长大，那里距离酋长球场和阿森纳的伦敦科尔尼训练基地的距离相等。少年时期，他就读于圣奥尔本斯的圣哥伦巴学院，该学校距离阿森纳的Sobha Realty训练中心仅咫尺之遥，并且曾在死敌托特纳姆热刺的青训营效力四年。

The deal was orchestrated by agent Ali Barat. The owner of agency Epic Sports, Barat has a good relationship with Chelsea as well as Arsenal's sporting director Berta, making him ideally suited to being the middle man in negotiations.

这笔交易由经纪人阿里·巴拉特促成。作为Epic Sports经纪公司的老板，巴拉特与切尔西以及阿森纳体育总监贝尔塔都保持着良好关系，这使他成为谈判中理想的中间人。

Once Arsenal had expressed their interest, Madueke and his father spoke with Arteta. Both sides considered it a successful meeting. Madueke likes Arteta's intensity and believes he will help him flourish. He was also impressed by the level of detail in Arsenal's approach --- their engagement with his data, and their plans for him.

在阿森纳表达兴趣后，马杜埃凯和他的父亲与阿尔特塔进行了交谈。双方都认为这是一次成功的会面。马杜埃凯欣赏阿尔特塔的执教强度，并相信他会帮助自己成长。阿森纳在接洽过程中的细致程度也给他留下了深刻印象——他们对其数据的分析以及为他制定的计划。

Personal terms for a five-year contract were agreed relatively swiftly afterwards. Then, a deal needed to be struck between the clubs.

之后，双方相对迅速地就一份五年合同的个人条款达成一致。接下来，就需要在两家俱乐部之间敲定转会协议。

At the outset of negotiations with Arsenal, Chelsea ran a comparison of Madueke's statistics against Mohammed Kudus, Anthony Elanga and Mbeumo, which reflected well on Madueke.

在与阿森纳谈判之初，切尔西将马杜埃凯的数据与穆罕默德·库杜斯、安东尼·埃兰加和姆贝乌莫进行了对比，结果对马杜埃凯有利。

Over the past two seasons, Madueke has averaged a goal or assist contribution at a rate of 0.51 per 90. Of the four players listed, only Mbeumo (0.59) can better that. Madueke is also slightly younger than Mbeumo (25) and Kudus (24). Chelsea used this data to justify an asking price in the region of £60million.

过去两个赛季，马杜埃凯平均每90分钟贡献0.51个进球或助攻。在列出的四名球员中，只有姆贝乌莫（0.59）的数据更优。马杜埃凯也比姆贝乌莫（25岁）和库杜斯（24岁）略年轻。切尔西利用这些数据来证明他们约6000万英镑的要价是合理的。

That was not enough to put Arsenal off. They were taken with the player's one-on-one ability, physicality and technical level.

但这并未让阿森纳退缩。他们看重这名球员的一对一能力、身体素质和技战术水平。

Madueke's price tag may also be reflective of his status as an England international. Madueke was first called up to the England senior squad in August 2024 and has gone on to win seven caps.

马杜埃凯的身价也可能反映了他作为英格兰国脚的身份。他于2024年8月首次入选英格兰成年队，至今已获得7次出场机会。

Despite representing England, Madueke will still take up one of Arsenal's 17 'foreign' squad slots. Because he left the UK for the Netherlands at 16, Madueke does not count as homegrown in England for the purposes of Premier League and UEFA squad regulations.

尽管代表英格兰队出战，马杜埃凯仍将占据阿森纳17个“外援”名额中的一个。因为他在16岁时离开英国前往荷兰，根据英超和欧足联的报名规定，他不算作英格兰本土培养球员。

With Barat serving as broker, Arsenal and Chelsea quickly came to an agreement. Madueke left Chelsea's World Club Cup training camp ahead of the final in order to complete the formalities of his Arsenal move. The completion of the deal was delayed due to Madueke's negotiations with Chelsea over severance terms.

在巴拉特作为中间人的协调下，阿森纳和切尔西迅速达成协议。马杜埃凯在决赛前离开了切尔西的世俱杯训练营，以完成转会阿森纳的手续。交易的完成因马杜埃凯与切尔西就解约补偿条款的谈判而略有延迟。

Arsenal believe that, taking into account Madueke's age, potential, and the going rate for Premier League wingers, they have secured an excellent deal. Chelsea are content the final value of the deal could take them over the £50million mark --- a considerable profit on their €35million investment.

阿森纳认为，考虑到马杜埃凯的年龄、潜力以及英超边锋的市场行情，他们达成了一笔非常出色的交易。切尔西对交易的最终价值可能超过5000万英镑感到满意——这相对于他们3500万欧元的投资来说是一笔可观的利润。

There is plenty of precedent for players overcoming Arsenal fans' initial scepticism. Aaron Ramsdale was abused on social media after joining the club in 2021, but swiftly became a fan favourite.

球员们克服阿森纳球迷最初怀疑态度的例子比比皆是。阿龙·拉姆斯代尔在2021年加盟后曾在社交媒体上遭到辱骂，但他迅速成为了球迷的宠儿。

Even former Chelsea players have found redemption: aspersions were cast over the arrivals of Jorginho and Kai Havertz, but both became popular.

即使是前切尔西球员也成功扭转了风评：若日尼奥和凯·哈弗茨加盟时也受到质疑，但两人后来都赢得了球迷喜爱。

The onus is on Madueke. If he delivers on the pitch, any noise will quickly fade away.

关键就看马杜埃凯自己了。如果他在球场上拿出表现，任何质疑的声音都会迅速消散。
