Arsenal legend Sol Campbell has urged the club to explain their reasons for signing Noni Madueke.
Mikel Arteta‘s side have agreed a £52million deal with Chelsea to sign the England international, who gave the green light to the move last week.
It comes after more than 2700 Arsenal fans signed a petition to voice their displeasure at signing the former PSV winger.
And Gunners legend Campbell believes the club should provide clarity over how Madueke will fit into the team, though he believes the 23-year-old will be a good addition to the squad.
‘I’ve seen him play, and he’s a very dynamic, keep-going kind of player that can cause problems when he gets into the final third,’ Campbell told the Metro.
‘I think most people are probably thinking, “Do we need him?”. He’s a quality player, but I think the club needs to explain why they’re getting certain players in and how it’s going to fit into our system..

‘It’s important to explain that to the players and the fans.’
On the surface, Madueke would currently make a great rotation option for Arsenal at both left and right wing, and a he still has room to develop.
However, there had also been doubts over the player’s discipline, having been twice left out by Chelsea, one of which came over a reported poor training performance.
He was then left out of the starting XI for Chelsea’s Club World Cup semi-final clash with Fluminense earlier this week with Enzo Maresca apparently not convinced his sole focus was on his current side.
A report from the Guardian also claimed that Chelsea believe the player has not quite come on in the leaps and bounds that they thought he might after signing him two-and-a-half years ago.
In that time, he has played 92 games but only managed 20 goals – including one in the Conference League final – and nine assists.
Madueke was signed from PSV Eindhoven for £26m, with the Blues now set to double their money in a sale to one of their biggest rivals at a time when they could do with recouping funds.
