Mikel Arteta has revealed the online petition in response to Arsenal’s pursuit of Noni Madueke this summer increased his determination to make the move work for the former Chelsea winger.

Madueke will make his first return to Stamford Bridge on Sunday since he made the switch across London and a hostile reception is expected for the 23-year-old.
