Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice jumped to the defence of his new teammate Noni Madueke, whose arrival from Chelsea has caused plenty of debate among the club’s online fanbase.
The Gunners announced the acquisition of Madueke to a decidedly mixed response last week.

By the time the deal was finalised, it had received more than 5,000 signatures.
