  • Mikel Arteta revealed an online petition opposing Noni Madueke's transfer to Arsenal in the summer unexpectedly strengthened his resolve to sign the winger.
  • The petition, which gathered 4,000 signatures and saw the hashtag #NoToMadueke trend, initially reflected significant opposition from Arsenal supporters.
  • Madueke, 23, is preparing for his first return to Stamford Bridge this Sunday to face his former club, Chelsea, where a hostile reception is anticipated.
  • The London-born attacker recently scored his first goal for Arsenal in the Champions League victory over Bayern Munich, following his return from a knee injury.
  • Arteta praised Madueke's versatility and impact, suggesting a potential start against Chelsea as Arsenal aim to secure another significant win and extend their lead.
