Arsenal winger Noni Madueke has brushed off criticism from fans who were unhappy about his transfer to the club this summer.
A petition signed by over 4,000 people had called for Madueke to leave the club, but he says that the criticism is "in the distant past" after scoring his first goal for Arsenal in a recent Champions League match.
Madueke believes being under the public eye means that fans can say what they want about him. However, it's how he performs on the pitch and how well he connects with supporters during matches, particularly at home games.
He says that when fans show support for him like this, "it gives me a massive boost." With their backing, Madueke is more focused than ever on helping his team achieve success.
