Why #NoToMadueke is trending among Arsenal fans

The news Arsenal are closing in on a deal to sign winger Noni Madueke from Chelsea for just over £50m has prompted a backlash from some Gunners fans.

A petition has been set up and signed more than 4,000 times, #NoToMadueke has gained traction on X, and murals outside the club's Emirates Stadium have been vandalised with 'Arteta out'.

At 23, Madueke is already an England international, so why are some so against his signing?

What are the fans saying?

Arsenal have signed six players from Chelsea in recent years - and Madueke will be the second this transfer window after goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
