However, in a chat with the club’s website, Arteta is satisfied with his business so far and believes Madueke will be a pivotal part of the team.. “It’s probably a coincidence. What is not a coincidence is the squad and the quality of the squad. While I’m here as well, I congratulate them for winning the Club World Cup because I think it was a big achievement for them.. “With Noni, I’m very, very excited. You’ve seen the reaction of all the players as well, especially the ones who know him very well. He needs a little bit of a break now, but he will be with us soon showing what he’s going to bring to the team.”
