Arsenal's Newcomer Refuses to Let Fan Backlash Deter Him.
Noni Madueke, the 23-year-old winger, has made a strong impression in his short time at Arsenal since joining for £48.5m from Chelsea in July. Despite facing criticism and a petition signed by more than 4,000 people opposing his transfer.
Madueke is not fazed by the fan backlash, stating that the criticism is "in the distant past" after scoring his first goal for the Gunners in their recent 3-1 Champions League victory over Bayern Munich. The England international has shown glimpses of his skills and pace on the pitch, impressing fans with his performances.
Madueke believes being in the public eye means that people can say whatever they want about him, but he doesn't let it affect him. Instead, he focuses on the positive reactions from fans who have welcomed him to the club.
"I play on the side of the pitch. I can feel them; I can hear them. When they are that positive about me it gives me a massive boost. Honestly, I am made up about it," Madueke revealed in an interview.
Madueke's return from injury has coincided with Arsenal's resurgence in form, and he has been instrumental in their recent victories. His performances have shown that he is a valuable asset to the team, and his dedication and work rate are commendable.
With the Gunners set to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Madueke will be looking to continue his impressive form and help Arsenal stay ahead of their title rivals.
