The 23-year-old swapped West London for North when he joined Arsenal from Chelsea for a reported fee of £48.5 million.
Arsenal fans were outraged by the deal at the time, with over 5,000 supporters signed a petition titled ‘#NOTOMADUEKE’, urging the club to sign a different winger.
Speaking to the club’s in-house media team, Madueke opened up on the culture at the club and his relationship with the fans.
“It’s not just a team full of great and talented players, it’s a team full of good people,” he said. “And I think the culture around here is probably the best I’ve seen.
“In terms of the supporters, it was a bit dicey at the start, on social media and stuff before I came to the club,” he continued. “But when I’ve been in the stadium, I haven’t felt that close to fans, to be honest.
“Obviously I play on the side of the pitch so I can hear them throughout the game, pushing me on whenever I get the ball, I hear them. So, God willing, that continues, because it gives me a big, big, big boost.
“I always love playing at the Emirates, I’m always looking forward to the next game where I’m back at the Emirates.”
