From Arteta's call with Madueke and his father to the role of agent Ali Barat and sporting director Berta, here's how the deal was done

"Noni is an exciting and powerful young player, with his performances and numbers in recent seasons being of consistently high quality," Mikel Arteta said of Madueke.

Arsenal fans started a petition labelled #NoToMadueke ahead of the signing, and it was shockingly signed by more than 5,000 fans, while others blamed Mikel Arteta for this deal. Madueke could be a great addition to this stacked Arsenal team heading into a make-or-break season for their manager, Arteta.
