Emmanuel Adebayor has reaffirmed his commitment to Arsenal.
"I'm very happy. As a footballer a lot of clubs will look for you but this club is one of the biggest in the world, there are lots of young players and I have a big chance to have a good career at this club," he told Sky Sports.
"When there is a lot of speculation they (the fans) believe what they read in the newspapers. The most important thing is to keep on enjoying your football.
"Some of the fans will love you and some will hate you but I'm in a good position and most fans love me. For me, what happened this summer is over.
"You have to come on the pitch, enjoy your football and show them you have desire to play for their team.
"Today I am where I am because they gave me a lot of chances."
Emmanuel Adebayor kept his nerve to hit the winner from the spot in Arsenal's 1-0 victory over Real Madrid yesterday.
The Togo international, who was booed by some sections of the Arsenal crowd on Saturday against Juventus, turned the jeers to cheers with the winner from the penalty spot against the Spanish champions.
Arsenal's victory saw them finish third in the final Emirates Cup table, with Hamburg - now managed by former Tottenham boss Martin Jol - securing the trophy after they beat Juventus 3-0 in the day's other match.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is confident all the rumours will soon be forgotten about if Adebayor continues to find the net for Arsenal this season.
"I feel Adebayor felt people questioned his commitment a little bit and the best answer always is to give on the pitch," said Wenger. "You play well and show you are ready to fight for your shirt and your team. He does that. He is a man with character.
"You know how it is. If you score goals people forget quickly their frustration.
"You have to show it with performances in this job."
Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor also accepts he must win back a section of the club's support after a controversial summer.
Asked if he must rebuild his relationship with fans, Ade said: "I don't know. I think so. It's normal because when there is speculation, they believe in what they read.
"For me the most important thing is to keep on playing my football and enjoying myself. No matter what you are, no matter what you have done, some of the fans will love you and some of the fans will hate you.
"But I hope I'm in a good situation. Most of the fans love me and that's the most important thing."
He added: "For me, what happened in the summer is already behind me and now it's up to me to play my game and score some goals.
"Football fans are like that. You show them that you are happy and that you have the desire to want to play for your team.
"I will try to do that all this year. Since the beginning of the discussions I always told the boss of my desire to stay with the club.
"When you net 30 goals in a season, a lot of clubs come to look for you but this club is one of the biggest in the world.
"It's fun, we have a lot of young players and I have the chance for a good career at this club."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger won't panic-buy to fill a void in midfield.
After defeat to Juventus, Wenger told arsenal.com: "We are not close to signing anybody and I will focus on the players I have. If we can find someone, then we will do it. If not, I am happy as well.
"Experience-wise we a bit short in midfield but we will see. With Diaby not being injured, Denilson being available, we have quality in there. Today we did not have Rosicky, Fabregas, Eduardo, van Persie and Song. They are five top-class players."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was pleased with Aaron Ramsey's performance in yesterday's defeat to Juventus.
"He is only 17-and-a-half and we forget how young these boys are - he will be a top-class midfielder," said Wenger.
Aaron Ramsey is determined to build on his impressive first preseason with new club Arsenal.
The 17-year-old, who made a £5m switch from Cardiff to the Emirates in June, has already impressed Gunners fans.
And he told BBC Wales: "My priority is to get into the starting 11 for the first game against West Brom and go from there.
"I will just keep working hard in the (pre-season) games and training."
Ramsey has featured in all of Arsenal's pre-season friendlies so far and already looks at home in the famous red shirt.
"It's a massive step up from the Championship level," he said. "I found it quite tough in the first week, but now I've settled in a bit."
The youngster has seven caps at under-21 level, but has yet to win a full international cap.
But he is hoping to change that on 6 September when Wales open their 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign against Azerbaijan.
"I want to get my full Welsh cap for Wales," said Ramsey.
"I've always wanted to play for Wales so it's a massive target to get into the team for the qualifiers."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was also happy to give 16 year-old Jack Wilshere a first start in yesterday's 1-0 defeat by Juventus.
"Do not be impressed by his small size because he is not phased by the physical challenges," Wenger told arsenal.com. "He really looks mature on the pitch, but he is 16 and we have to respect his development.
"However, do not reproach me now about not playing English players."
Arsenal fans gave Eduardo da Silva a rousing welcome as he was paraded before their victory over Real Madrid yesterday.
He has not played since suffering a sickening leg break against Birmingham last season but is already targeting a first-team return before the end of the year.
He said: "I was in Brazil for my rehabilitation and for four months I have worked hard every day for six or seven hours.
"For me it is hard because I like playing and five, six, seven or eight months without playing is very hard for a player."
Asked when he would be match-fit, he told Sky Sports News: "I would like to play tomorrow but I don't know. Before Christmas maybe."
Arsenal have made a bid for Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso.
The Guardian says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger wants Xabi to form a Spanish midfield axis with Cesc Fabregas at Arsenal next season, provided Liverpool dramatically lower their £18m price for the marginalised playmaker.
Arsenal have made an initial approach for the 26-year-old Alonso, who has been told he can leave Anfield for the right price.
The Gunners rate Xabi at £10.5 million and the deal will remain only a remote possibility unless Arsenal revise their stance.
