Arsenal are on the verge of securing a £52 million deal for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, but not all fans are thrilled.

Thousands of Gunners supporters have taken to Change.org to oppose the move, with a petition titled #NOTOMADUEKE amassing over 4,000 signatures within hours of going live on Wednesday.

Madueke, 23, has emerged as a surprise target for Mikel Arteta as he looks to bolster his attacking options this summer.

Arsenal have already agreed personal terms with the England international, and club executives have reportedly spoken to those who have worked closely with him to assess his fit at the Emirates.

Despite the club’s growing confidence in the move, not everyone in the fanbase is convinced.

“Arsenal fans deserve better,” wrote petition creator Blaze Fifty. “We are so close to success and instead of capitalising on the squad we have it seems we are moving 2 steps back just like the 3 previous transfer windows. We can surely do better than Madueke & [Viktor] Gyokeres — show some ambition, repay the fans the same way we’ve backed the club for the past 2 decades.”

The reaction online has been fierce and divided. While some Arsenal supporters have criticised the petition as “embarrassing,” others are questioning the club’s transfer priorities.

“Absolutely disgraceful behaviour, we really are the worst fan base in the world,” one fan posted on X. Another added, “Sometimes it’s really embarrassing following Arsenal when the tiny minority behave like this for all to see.”

Rival fans also joined the conversation, with one commenting: “They could be anybody from any clubs. Any genuine fan would back the club’s choices.”

Another questioned the logic behind the backlash: “This is the same team that have been crying for a backup for Bukayo [Saka] and then suddenly Madueke is not what you want? Which top player will want to come and be a backup to Bukayo?”

Meanwhile, Madueke remains part of Chelsea’s Club World Cup squad and is expected to feature in the final against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday. He’s appeared as a substitute in Chelsea’s last two matches, and manager Enzo Maresca has remained tight-lipped about his potential departure.

“I don’t have any doubts that if we need Noni, he will help us,” Maresca said earlier this week. “I can understand when there is noise around you, it is difficult to deal with that.”

As negotiations between Arsenal and Chelsea near completion, the debate among fans rages on, but it appears the Gunners are pushing forward regardless of the online uproar.

Arsenal without a doubt is one of the most unserious clubs in the history of football. This guy does not even know the leg he is using. He literally play like a chicken and I am being fair. The same club that cannot complete the signing of Gyokeres - one of the best strikers in the world, a position they have been lacking at, move with swift urgency to sign Noni Madueke? This same team already has mediocre players like Havartz, Martinelli, Sterling, etc, why do they need to add another mediocre player.

Na war o. I no get wetin to talk make una do wetin una like.

This is seriously serious.

Noni Madueke is now a political or football orphan

Even Arsenal have started selecting player to buy, wonders shall never end.

Madueke z a very good player dat will b of great help to Arsenal

Salah many years ago was worst than Madueke at diz same Chelsea. But today he's one of the best player to av ever played in d league.

As a Chelsea fan em not happywith d business at least not to our direct rival.

Una want trophy. The come sign 'mulowo noni' u come dey complain.
The boy always feel too big especially when he scores.

Some fan can disturb themselves with what they don't have control of

The problem with all these plastic fan is that they believe Arteta must sign a striker before Arsenal will win a trophy not knowing that whatever will be will definitely be.

If PSG is winning trophies without a well recognised striker and Man City with Haaland cannot win a trophy in a season, then all these demands for Arsenal striker might just be a fallacy at the end.

If you find out now, most of these jobless fan that signed this petition are Africans o

If it is to vote for someone that will change their current worst situation now, they will prefer to stay undecided

Even with all these, no one is mentioning or bidding Osimhen. One day, we go really understand what the issue is. Very weird phenomenon.

Gyokeres, even Rashford, Ademola (that has no business with Barca) are getting interest. But not Osimhen.

I just taya for Osimhen matter o..

Nah only hin name dem no dey talk about despite say the guy good. Wetin con be the problem?

Personally, I think it might have something to do with the way he acted at Finidi George. No coach on earth will fancy such a player..

Yea, this is exactly my thought too. It's just weird, even more so by the fact that decent strikers are extremely rare this season, as if they are going into extinction.

Bro they fear God now. Which can lie mixed with delusion is this? Saka and Madueke, how do you even compare both of them? Madueke wey Chelsea chase commot?

Osimhen needs to work on his attitude. Most clubs are avoiding controversial players wit controversial fanbase aka his Nigerian fans always ready to launch an attack on any club that they feel is treating Osimhen bad.

And Osimhen seems to have a very toxic fanbase wit a mob action attitude.

Most clubs no want wahala again oo.
