""You are in the public eye - people can say whatever they want about you," he said. "But being in the stadium, and how the fans have taken to me in the stadium, is unbelievable." "The last game versus Tottenham was incredible and that gives me such a boost," Madueke said. "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.""
""It might be a little bit hostile; it might not be. But I am a professional footballer," Madueke said. "I have played in loads of atmospheres. I don't know if anything will faze me. I will just be focused on the task. "The fixture is not about me. The fixture is about Arsenal getting another three points in the league and being closer to the objective.""
Noni Madueke is not worried about criticism following a summer transfer from Chelsea to Arsenal for £48.5m that prompted a #NoToMadueke petition signed by more than 4,000 people. Madueke scored his first goal for Arsenal in a 3-1 Champions League win over Bayern Munich and described the fans' reception in the stadium as unbelievable. A knee injury sustained in a 1-1 draw with Manchester City caused him to miss six of Arsenal's 12 Premier League matches, with a nine-week absence ending in a substitute appearance in the 4-1 north London derby win over Tottenham. Arsenal lead the league and face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
