[Saba Sports News] Recently, Arsenal officially announced the signing of winger Noni Madueke from Chelsea, finalizing a deal worth £52 million. However, when the news first emerged, the transfer sparked controversy, with many fans signing a petition online hoping the club would not sign Madueke. As of now, the number of signatures opposing the deal on a dedicated petition site has exceeded 5,200. However, with the official announcement, these protest signatures may fade away, and the doubts about the transfer will need time to be verified. In the comments under the petition, the top-voted comment reads: “Since Mikel Arteta took charge, we’ve signed six players from Chelsea. During that time, Chelsea haven’t signed anyone from Arsenal. There needs to be an investigation into whether there is any fraud involved. Arsenal fans don’t want our club to pay for Chelsea’s rebuild and fund their promotion. We need to fulfill our promise to strengthen the first team with world-class players, not spend 50-60 million on a player who clearly doesn’t meet fan expectations.”
